Update in Magico 1x Well with the testing from Three Zones of 15 MMSCFD production and an estimated Absolute Open Flow above 50 MMSCFD Sinu-9, Cordoba, Colombia
VANCOUVER, BC, August 2, 2022 /CNW/ - NG Energy International Corp. ("NGE" or the "Company") (TSXV: GASX) (OTCQX: GASXF), in the development of the Sinu-9 E&P Contract and under the agreements with CleanEnergy Resources ("CleanEnergy") ("CleanEnergy" & "NGE" both "The Companies"), is pleased to announce that, further to the July 21st news release, the first well of the exploration program in the Sinu-9 block has conducted two successful Drillstem Tests (DSTs) and a comingled test within three prospective zones in the Magico-1x well. The well is in the Sinu-9 block in the department of Cordoba.
The Companies report the following results from the two tests:

The above test was conducted between July 19, 2022 and July 20, 2022, in the lowest of the three drilled zones of the Cienaga de Oro (CdO) formation. This test produced 4.0982 MMcf of gas and no water. The specific gravity of the gas from this test is 0.5579
NOTE: the above data should be considered preliminary until pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has been done.
NOTE: the above test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.
DST-2 (3,572' – 3,582' MD, 3,632' – 3,640' MD of a Net Pay of 36')

The above test was conducted between July 23, 2022 and July 24, 2022, in the upper zone of the Cienaga de Oro (CdO) formation. This test produced 5.0997 MMcf of gas and no water. The specific gravity of the gas from this test is 0.5576.
Based on the results of these tests, the Companies decided to complete the well with a 3 ½" tubing size and test across all three zones on a comingled completion. The results of this test are as follows:
Comingled Test (3,572' – 3,582' MD, 3,632' – 3,640' MD, 3,694' – 3,724' MD of a Net Pay of 76')

The above test was conducted on July 31, 2022, across the three open intervals of the Cienaga de Oro (CdO) formation. This test produced 4.0347 MMcf of gas and no water. The specific gravity of the gas from this test is 0.5576. The total amount of gas produced from all three tests is 13.2326 MMcf and no water.
NOTE: the above data should be considered preliminary until pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has been done.
NOTE: the above test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.
Based on these results the Companies concluded the following: the well tested over 15 MMSCD of dry gas with no water on a comingled production completion from the three zones of the Cienaga de Oro (CDO) sandstone formation between 3,572' and 3,724' MD (Measured Depth) with a combined net pay of 76'. Other identified prospective zones will be tested in the future.
Once all analysis has been completed, the Companies, during the next months, will continue with the spudding of the Brujo exploration well in the same block. This well has already received approval from the ANH.
Chief Executive Officer of NGE, Serafino Iacono commented "We are very excited about this well in an area with great exploration potential. This is very positive to the Country and contributes to the green energy politics that the new Colombian government wants to enforce."
