CALGARY — Canadian Superior Energy Inc. shares were up more than 13 per cent in early trading Wednesday after the Calgary-based company (TSX:SNG) announced a "significant" natural gas discovery off the coast of Trinidad.
Initial testing from indicates that the Bounty well is capable of producing at a rate of approximately 200 million cubic feet per day and that there's potentially 2.6 trillion cubic feet of gas to be tapped there.
"We are very pleased with the results of the Bounty well and production testing indicates that we have drilled one of the best natural gas wells offshore Trinidad," Canadian Superior chairman Greg Noval said in a statement.
It's the second natural gas discovery Canadian Superior and its partners have made in 2008 on their Intrepid Block 5(c), 100 kilometres off the east coast of Trinidad.
