Po Valley Energy starts workover activity at Vitalba-1dirA well

October 31, 2011

Po Valley Energy Limited (ASX:PVE), is pleased to announce workover activities have started at its Vitalba 1dirA well.

Vitalba-1dirA is located in the Castello permit, northern Italy. Workover operations are expected to take 20 days to reach target total vertical depth of 1,400 metres.

The Company’s independent consultants, Dedicated Reservoir Engineering & Management Group estimates remaining recoverable 2P (Proven plus Probable) reserves at Vitalba-1dirA to be 3.7 billion cubic feet of gas.

“Subject to successful results, the Vitalba-1dirA well will be connected to the existing Vitalba gas treatment plant, allowing production to re-start without delay”, said Po Valley CEO Giovanni Catalano.

The Castello permit also includes PVE’s Bezzecca gas field which contains contingent recoverable 2C (Proven plus Probable) resources of 3.1 billion cubic feet of gas.

The planned two-well phased development for Bezzecca will require minimal additional investment in new production facilities as a 7 kilometre pipeline will connect the field to Po Valley’s existing treatment plant at Vitalba.
