JKX Chief Executive, Dr Paul Davies, said only that the company is "pleased to have the hydrochloric acidisation programme underway" and is looking forward to having all three wells in production by mid-March.
The acid treatment will use a total of 25 cubic metres of 15% hydrochloric acid solution together with inhibitors to regulate the rate of the reaction process. Pump pressure will be maintained well below the formation fracture pressure to ensure that the treatment is kept to the near well-bore area.
The share price fell 2.12% to 57.75p by 14:57.
