NG Energy International Starts Work on Central Processing Facility
NG Energy International Corp. ("NGE" or the "Company") is excited to announce that they have officially begun the commissioning of their Central Processing Facility (CPF) at the Sinu-9 Block. This is a major advancement in their natural gas operations, particularly following the successful completion of a new 28.3 km pipeline that connects the CPF to the Jobo delivery point.
Key Developments in Gas Production
After gaining approval from the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos ("ANH"), NGE and its partners are now set to kick off early production testing from the Sinu-9 Block. This approval paves the way for the Company to start utilizing gas from the Brujo-1X well, marking a significant milestone in its operational capabilities.
Partnerships and Project Stakeholders
Don Sewell, President and Director of NGE, expressed his appreciation for the partners involved in this infrastructure project, including INFRAES S.A.S. E.S.P., CleanEnergy Resources S.A.S., Surenergy S.A.S. E.S.P., and Union Temporal Sinu-9. Their collaboration has been essential for the successful launch of the CPF commissioning, which is vital for strengthening NG Energy's operational foundation in Colombia.
