Orion Project Joint Venture Thelma Well Update – Production, Sales and New Acreage
Perth, Western Australia – 13 January 2021 – Brookside Energy Limited (ASX: BRK) ( Brookside ) and Stonehorse Energy Limited (ASX: SHE) ( Stonehorse ) (the Companies ) are pleased to provide an update on production, sales and additional acreage acquisition for the Thelma 12-1 well (the Thelma Well ), located in the SCOOP Play, northeast of Brookside’s SWISH Area of Interest ( SWISH AOI ).
HIGHLIGHTS
-
The Thelma Well was successfully brought on production with an initial production (IP) rate of 130 barrels of oil per day ( BOPD ). Production optimisation is ongoing with daily production expected to stabilise at a long-term optimal volume of approximately 30 BOPD.
-
The first load of oil of 313 barrels was sold on 30 December 2020. A second, similar sized load of oil, is expected to be sold in the third week of January 2021.
-
Additional behind pipe potential remains in the Thelma 12-1 well with numerous formations, all proven producers in the area, still to be tested.
-
An additional 40 “held by production” (HBP) acres contiguous to the Thelma acreage have been acquired by the Orion Project Joint Venture (the Joint Venture ).
-
The additional acreage gives the Joint Venture the option to drill a low-cost vertical well with access to 7 known potential reservoirs all of which are proven producers in the area.
-
The Joint Venture has now established a new Area of Interest ( AOI ), the Bradbury Prospect , to complement Brookside’s SWISH AOI.
Commenting on the announcement, Brookside Managing Director, David Prentice said:
“This is a cracking start to 2021 for Brookside, the Joint Venture and the Black Mesa team. To identify this new behind pipe discovery and to bring it into production and then to sales safely and efficiently is a credit to the whole team.
“It is also very pleasing to have some early success in expanding our position in the Bradbury Prospect AOI and we look forward to scaling up this new initiative and adding to our already impressive portfolio of low-risk high return projects across the Anadarko Basin”.
Stonehorse Managing Director, David Deloub said:
“A fantastic result delivered by the Black Mesa team on behalf of Stonehorse. We are particularly excited by the establishment of a potential new pipeline of low-cost vertical oil wells which, in conjunction with a strengthening oil price is expected to deliver significant future cash flows to the Company going forward”
The Thelma Well was successfully brought on to production with an initial daily production rate of 130 barrels with low water cut and minor associated gas. Production optimisation is ongoing by the Black Mesa team who are on location at the Thelma 12-1 well site in Oklahoma. Early analysis indicates that an optimal daily production rate of approximately 30 barrels will be achieved resulting in the best balance between production rate (and associated revenue stream), efficient and safe reservoir performance and maximum oil recovery.
Sales from the Thelma Well commenced on 30 December 2020 with an initial load of 313 barrels of oil. It is estimated that a second similar sized load of oil will be sold in the third week of January 2021. Oil sales commenced in a strengthening oil price market which has continued to appreciate in the new year.
The success of the workover, perforation, clean-up, and production from one of the numerous identified “behind pipe” zones of interest in the Thelma Well has provided the team with confidence in the ability to recover additional volumes from the remaining identified zones.
Capitalising on the success of the Thelma Well the Joint Venture has acquired an additional 40 “held by production” (HBP) acres contiguous to the Thelma acreage. The additional acreage gives the Joint Venture the option to drill a low-cost vertical well with access to 7 known potential reservoirs all of which are proven producers in the area . Furthermore, future analysis has the potential to identify other potential producing formations at depth.
Successful restoration of commercial production in the Thelma Well has established a new Area of Interest in the SCOOP Play, the Bradbury Prospect, complementing Brookside’s existing SWISH AOI.
The Thelma Well, which is located in Murray County, Oklahoma was drilled and completed in 1992 as a vertical well targeting the Simpson Group sands and was spaced on a 40-acre drilling spacing unit ( DSU ). The new zone of production is located at depth of approximately 5,787 feet. The well is located approximately 20 miles east-northeast of Brookside Energy’s Jewell DSU in the SWISH AOI, an area that has exhibited high oil production per unit with multiple discrete high porosity high permeability target zones.

| Development Unit or DSU |
Development Unit or drilling spacing unit is the geographical area in which an initial oil and/or gas well is drilled and produced from the geological formation listed in a spacing order. The spacing unit communitizes all interest owners for the purpose of sharing in production from oil and/or gas wells in the unit. A spacing order establishes the size of the unit; names the formations included in the unit; divides the ownership of the unit for the formations into the “royalty interest” and the “working interest”; Only one well can be drilled and completed in each common source of supply. Additional wells may be drilled in a Development Unit, but only after an Increased Density Order is issued by the Oklahoma CorporationCommission. |
