Construction at Comet Ridge’s Maholo block coal seam gas pilot schemes is progressing, with both pilot schemes expected to start production operations in the coming weeks.
Work on construction of two separate pilot schemes at the Mahalo Field and Mira Field, 13 km apart, and approximately 240 km west of Gladstone, has been undertaken over the past nine months, commencing with the drilling of the four Mahalo Field pilot wells in July 2012.
These wells were completed for production, with tubing and pumps installed during December 2012 and construction of flowlines and tanks for water storage commencing early this year. Mahalo construction is now almost fully complete, with commissioning of the facilities about to commence and production operations expected to start in mid-April.
