NEPTUNE Energy today announced the award of a contract to drill the Z17 well in the Adorf carboniferous gas field, north-west Germany, to KCA Deutag. Operated with power from the grid, KCA Deutag\u2019s rig will use electrical motors in place of diesel-driven generators, removing an estimated 1,000 tonnes of CO2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions from the drilling operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neptune has been developing the Adorf field since 2019. The Adorf Z15 and Adorf Z16 wells were also drilled by KCA Deutag and are now in production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neptune Energy\u2019s Managing Director in Germany, Andreas Scheck, said: \u201cThe Adorf carboniferous field development is an important project for Neptune. We have already increased production significantly and see a great deal of further potential from the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe use of electrical motors underlines Neptune\u2019s commitment to continue to reduce emissions from our operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The deployment of emission-reduction technology is aligned with Neptune Energy\u2019s strategy to store more carbon than is emitted from its operations and from the use of its sold products by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ron Klunder, KCA Deutag Country Manager said: \u201cThe award of this contract further strengthens our long-term relationship with Neptune Energy and allows us, through Kenera, our new business unit, to utilise technology to cut emissions and assist Neptune in meeting their carbon reduction goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Work on the Z17 well is due to commence in June this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As operator, Neptune Energy holds a 100% stake in the Adorf Carboniferous gas field. The current daily production is around 4,500 boe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NEPTUNE Energy today announced the award of a contract to drill the Z17 well in the Adorf carboniferous gas field, north-west Germany, to KCA Deutag.
