Company Announcements

VANCOUVER, BC , Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - MCF Energy Ltd. (TSXV: MCF) (FRA: DC6) (OTCQX: MCFNF) is pleased to announce an operational update for the Kinsau-1A well in Lech, Germany.

The RED Drilling Rig 202 has completed drilling out the abandonment mud and cement plugs in the 13 3/8-inch casing from the original Kinsau-1 well drilled by Mobil in 1983.  The inspection of the casing and bonding cement was done with both mechanical and remote sensing tools and found to be in good condition.  The seal capacity was tested by pressuring up to 61 bars (885 psi) which confirmed the ability of the pipe to hold pressure and isolate the shallow zones behind pipe.  This casing protects the shallow ground water resources in this area.  An offset water well has been drilled on the drill site and will be monitored to confirm there is no impact too these important water resources.    

After testing of the casing and cement, a directional drilling assembly was used to enter the exposed section of rock below the casing and drill out of the old well bore.  After several days the drilling, the bit broke out of the old hole and started making new hole.  The target of this well is the Jurassic Purbeck carbonate interval that tested gas at high rates in Mobil's original Kinsau-1 well in 1983.  

James Hill CEO of MCF Energy said "I am happy the well is now drilling. Many don't realize that Germany has significant resources within their borders which can reduce imports, keep money in Germany and provide energy security and the environmentally desirable natural gas resources the country uses and needs."
