Neptune Energy has announced first oil production from its operated Rӧmerberg 6 well in the city of Speyer, south-western Germany. Initial production tests indicate flow rates of up to 1,800 barrels of oil equivalent per day.Römerberg 6 is the ninth production well on the field and is expected to increase Neptune’s production in the Rhine Valley to around 3,700 boepd.Römerberg was discovered in 2003 and began producing in 2008. In October, Neptune received approval from the State Mining Authority for Rhineland-Palatinate to raise the production limit at the field. This enables Neptune to mature its full-field development plans, including significant investment in surface facilities to support higher production rates, upgrade water treatment and reduce emissions associate with flaring.Partners: Neptune Energy (operator, 50%), Palatina GeoCon (licence owner, 50%)
