Production Testing Blair #1-24H Well Noble County, Oklahoma
Oklahoma based (Australian Securities Exchange listed) oil and gas exploration and production company, Red Fork Energy Limited (“Red Fork” or the “Company”) is very pleased to announce highly encouraging initial results from early production testing of the Blair #1-24H well in Noble County, Oklahoma.
The well has been testing for approximately 48 hours with some oil and gas evident immediately when testing commenced. During the last 24 hours of flow back the well tested as high as 20 barrels of oil per hour with 240,000 cubic feet of liquids rich gas. Whilst the well is on an Electric Submersible Pump (“ESP”), these results were achieved primarily via intermittent flow through the casing.
It is important to note that only a very small fraction of load (reservoir stimulation water) has been recovered so far during this initial testing phase and the fluid level in the well bore is very high (approximately 300 feet from the surface).
Production testing is continuing as the well cleans up and rates have not yet stabilized. Red Fork will look to release both a 30-day peak and average rate for the well as the initial production testing operations are completed.
Commenting on this announcement Red Fork Managing Director David Prentice said, “We are very encouraged by these results which have been achieved very early in the production testing of this well. These results provide us with a high level of confidence about potential outcomes for the testing of this and the other wells we have drilled and are drilling in Development Area 2 and for our acreage position in the Eastern Limb of the Mississippian Play generally. We have already sold our first load of oil from the Blair #1-24H well (to Conoco Phillips refining arm Phillips66) and we are looking forward to updating the market further on results from our current development program as they come to hand.”
Yours faithfully,
