Galilee Energy Ltd ("Galilee") (ASX: GLL) is pleased to provide the following operations update and announce that Silver City Rig 23 had commenced drilling the first well of this year's programme. At the time of this release 9-5/8 casing had been run to 200m and preparations were well underway to complete cementing operations.
All existing pilot wells have been online and producing consistently with the longest continuous run time recorded to date without the repeated pump failures evidenced previously.
Drilling commenced late yesterday at Glenaras 24, which is the first well of the 2022 programme which includes the drilling, completing, connecting, and powering of an additional 5 vertical wells (see Figure 1).

Each of the wells in this campaign will be drilled to a depth of around 1,000m and cased with 7" production casing to the top of the coal section.
The section over the Betts Creek beds will be slotted allowing it to be an open-hole completion. Drilling time for each well is expected to take approximately 7 days.

The gathering and electrical cable trenching activities are scheduled to commence next week. It is anticipated that some of the existing pilot wells will need to either be turned down or shut-in for limited periods throughout the course of the current programme to ensure safe and optimal operations at all times.
This announcement was released with the authority of the Board.
