Egdon Resources has announced encouraging results from the pumped test carried out over the Penistone Flags Zone 3A as part of the Extended Well Test at the Wressle-1 oil and gas discovery in licence PEDL180, located to the east of Scunthorpe, where Egdon operates with a 25% interest.

During earlier initial testing, the Wressle-1 well produced oil and gas from three discrete reservoir intervals, the Ashover Grit, the Wingfield Flags, and the Penistone Flags as previously reported. At the end of those test operations, a completion was installed in the well to cater for a subsequent pumped EWT over the oil productive zones in the Ashover Grit (Zone 1) and the Penistone Flags (Zone 3A).

Due to problems experienced with the downhole testing equipment, the pumped flow test of the Ashover Grit oil reservoir could not be undertaken first as originally planned, therefore test operations were switched to focus initially on the shallower Penistone Flags.
