Flow test begins at Brockham, says Alba

Diversified mineral exploration and development company Alba Mineral Resources said on Wednesday that it has been informed by Angus Energy - the operator of the Brockham oil field under Production Licence 235 - that it has commenced its previously-announced commercial flow test programme at Brockham.

The AIM-traded firm said that Angus also advised that it would provide an analytical update on the targeted pay zone, the Kimmeridge layers of the BR-X4Z well, in due course.

“It will temporarily suspend operations at Brockham over the Christmas and New Year holiday period, from 23 December to 7 January,” Alba’s board added.

Alba owns a direct 5% interest in PL 235.
