L&M Petroleum is preparing to kick off the first well in its 2009 coalbed methane (CBM) drilling campaign this week in the onshore Western Southland Basin on New Zealand's South Island.The Bogle-1 well will further evaluate the Beaumont formation coals previously encountered in the Goodwin-1 and Wairaki-1 wells and to test the deeper, more gas rich, Morley coals. Upon completion of the Bogle-1 well, the rig will be moved to drill the Mt Linton-1 and Belmont-1 wells back-to-back.
