LFDE計劃于2017年第一季度提高煤層氣產量

Francaise de l’Energie (LFDE), which aims to boost the country’s near-zero indigenous gas production, said November 2 that it plans to start marketing power from an existing coalbed methane (CBM) field near Calais starting 1Q 2017 and to test a new CBM well in Lorraine during the same quarter. Independent LFDE’s loss widened to €4.2mn for the 12 months to June 2016, from a year-before loss of €2.6mn. Its existing CBM production at Avion (in Nord-Pas de Calais) suffered from low prices but it expects these to stabilise in the coming months at €16/MWh gas, still quite weak.CEO Julien Moulin though said an initial public offering in June allowed LFDE to list on the Paris stock exchange and raise €37.5mn, enabling it to complete its acquisitions of Gazonor and Concorde Paris.
