TMK Energy Ltd. has announced that daily gas production continues to increase at its Mongolian operations despite technical hurdles.

The company has reported an average daily gas production of 663 cubic metres per day for the month.

This represents a 13 per cent increase over February’s figures and stands as the second-highest monthly rate on record for the project, surpassed only by a spike in March.

A major driver of this performance is the LF-07 well, which continues to see increasing gas rates following a period of managed curtailment.

Operators are currently balancing pump speeds and fluid levels to return the well to its peak performance without compromising the reservoir’s long-term integrity.

TMK CEO Dougal Ferguson said: “Gas production continues to be a focus, but ensuring we are positioned for much higher production in the coming months is of equal importance.

“Our immediate focus is the upcoming pilot well drilling program, as well as the important need to have the beneficial use of gas initiative in place as soon as possible, to not only reduce the flaring of gas, but also to lock in our own permanent power supply for the pilot project.”

To ensure technical excellence, TMK recently completed an independent technical review (ITR). The review, which included global coal seam gas (CSG) experts, validated the current reservoir management plan while identifying new optimisation techniques to be trialled in both new and existing wells.

The company is also prioritising the beneficial use of its gas to solve local infrastructure issues. Currently, short-term power outages have disrupted continuous production.

By utilising produced gas to generate permanent on-site power, TMK aims to eliminate flaring, stabilise operations, and potentially provide excess electricity to local Mongolian users.

Broader discussions with the Mongolian government and private consortiums indicate growing interest in the Gurvantes XXXV Project as a solution to the nation’s energy shortages.

TMK continues to work closely with the Australian Embassy and Austrade to promote Australian CSG expertise within the region.
