Perth, Oct 18, 2011 (ABN Newswire) - BPH Energy (ASX:BPH) provides the following advice regarding investee company Advent Energy Ltd (Advent) and its workover/production testing program at Vienta-1 and Waggon Creek-1 at its 100% owned EP386 permit in the onshore Bonaparte Basin.

Advent's major shareholders include MEC Resources (ASX:MMR), BPH Energy, Talbot Group Investments and Grandbridge (ASX:GBA).

Production testing at Vienta-1 in EP386 is currently underway. Zones being tested are between 1365m-1369m and 1411m-1421m depth.

Gas has flowed from these zones at initial rates of approximately 1.97 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMscf/d) and reducing to approximately 0.53 MMscf/d within an hour's flow.

Vienta-1 is currently shut in for an extended pressure build-up survey. Early indications imply a relatively tight gas interval or reservoir that has suffered some damage. Results of the pressure build-up survey and its interpretations will be reported in due course.

Advent is currently performing the production testing programme on Vienta-1. Operations will shortly expand to commence the completion at Waggon Creek-1. A production test on Waggon Creek-1 will then follow.
