COMET RIDGE LIMITED ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 27 FEBRUARY 2007
The Company Announcements Officer Australian Stock Exchange Limited Exchange Centre 20 Bridge Street SYDNEY NSW 2000 By Electronic Lodgement
OPERATIONS UPDATE - BEAR RIVER PROJECT, ROUTT COUNTY, COLORADO, USA
MAIN POINTS
- Peltier 11-12 on production test
- Well is currently recovering the oil used to displace the drilling fluid
- It will take a few days of testing to assess the productivity of the well
The directors of Comet Ridge Limited (ASX Code: COI) are pleased to provide the following operational update for the Peltier 11-12 well drilled on the Bear River prospect in Routt County, Colorado, USA.
As of report time (3pm, 26 February Denver time - 7am, 27 February Perth time) the well was on production test and producing the "load oil" (oil pumped into the well bore to circulate out the drilling fluid). At this time the down hole submersible pump is being deliberately operated at a low rate to allow the well to clean up and to mitigate the potential for damage to the reservoir from waxes and paraffins precipitating in the fractures. Production from the well will be intermittent over the coming days until various reservoir parameters are assessed. Depending on the well's performance, the production rate will be gradually increased over the coming weeks.
Comet Ridge and partner Strike Oil Limited (ASX Code: STX) jointly funded the drilling of the Peltier well. All earning requirements on the Bear River prospect have been completed and both companies now own a 33.75% working interest. In light of the encouraging results of the first two wells, Comet Ridge is permitting a number of additional locations for drilling later in the year and is evaluating a number of opportunities to further expand its position in the play.
The Company will provide an update to shareholders once the well has recovered the load oil and its production performance has been assessed.
Yours sincerely
ranger
