Petrolia Inc.: Hydrocarbons Over a 1,850 m Interval in Bourque No. 1 Well
(firmenpresse) - RIMOUSKI, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 10/31/12 -- Petrolia (TSX VENTURE: PEA) announces that drilling at Bourque No. 1 well is now complete. A tubing was installed with a view to carry out at a later stage, a sustained production test over a 900 m open hole interval between the depths of 1,832 and 2,746 m in order to verify if commercial flow rates can be achieved over this interval. The well's measured depth is 3,140 m, with a true vertical depth of 2,921 m. Wet gas shows containing condensate (C3 to C7+) in concentrations of up to 20% were registered over a 1,850 m interval between 995 and 2,852 m.
During operations, eight (8) drill stem tests were conducted on 20-30 m intervals. These tests all yielded gas to surface with condensate. The most promising test delivered a maximum flow of 1.4 million cubic ft. of gas per day. A small amount of light petroleum was also recovered in the drilling mud. These test results are currently undergoing further analysis.
Starting at a depth of 1,465 m, in the cased section of the well, drilling penetrated a massive interval for which electric logs indicate porosity over a thickness of more than 100 m. This zone is characterized by abundant calcite from fractures and localized high-temperature dolomite. All drill cutting samples from this zone displayed fluorescence when cut with a solvent, an indicator of oil in the rock. In addition, a substantial show of gas was recorded at the top of the interval in a fractured zone, and light oil (53 degrees API) was recovered in the sample chamber. This result leads to add oil as an objective for well Bourque No. 2.
The drilling equipment has been mobilized to the Bourque No. 2 site.
