Botala Energy Ltd. ( (AU:BTE) ) has shared an update.

Botala Energy has reported its strongest reservoir response yet at the Pitse Pilot after stimulating the Serowe-3.3 well in the Upper Morupule seam, with record formation pressure and water flow and visible free gas at surface. The results indicate a material improvement in permeability using relatively simple perforation and jetting techniques, giving the company greater confidence in the seam’s gas production potential.

A temporary wellhead has been installed to safely manage elevated pressures while the reservoir team conducts a step-rate test and subsequent controlled production evaluation, including gas flow testing, before full dewatering and flow-testing. Insights from Serowe-3.3 will guide optimisation of other pilot wells, including Serowe-3.2 and the central production well Serowe-3.5B, whose spud has been delayed by one week to strengthen the technical foundations of the broader development program.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:BTE) stock is a Hold with a A$0.05 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Botala Energy Ltd. stock, see the AU:BTE Stock Forecast page.
