UK-based Greka Drilling has completed its first exploration well for state-owned China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) at a coalbed methane (CBM) play in the Qinshui Basin onshore Shanxi province, China. Greka’s chief executive Randeep Grewal said the contractor was in talks regarding further drilling work with CNPC after this probe. Grewal pointed out that the low level of CBM drilling to date in China means there is potential for more work for the company in the coming months and years.
