Drilling and log data indicate hydrocarbon bearing sands in a shallow horizon
Verus Investments Ltd (Verus; ASX code: VIL ) is pleased to provide the following update on the Bongo, O.B. Ranch #1 Well, as provided by the project partner and operator Caza Petroleum, Inc. (Caza ; TSX: CAZ, AIM: CAZA ) in their Second Quarter Results and Operational Update to the TSX and AIM.
"The O.B. Ranch #1 well is currently drilling to its target depth of approximately 16,000 feet. Prior to setting intermediate casing, drilling and log data indicated hydrocarbon bearing sands in a shallower horizon. Further evaluation of the shallow horizon will be necessary, but we are optimistic about the results. The well, which was scheduled to drill in 45 days, will take slightly longer due to complications created by continued gas influx into the drilling fluid system. We expect to reach the target depth and complete logging and testing operations within the next 15 days," Mr W. Michael Ford, CEO of Caza stated.
Verus Chairman Andrew McIlwain said; “We are encouraged by these early indications at Bongo #1Well and now await completion of drilling and evaluation.”
The O.B. Ranch #1Well is the first appraisal well at Bongo. Initial target evaluation predicted the potential to intersect multiple hydrocarbon bearing reservoir sections between 13,000 and 16,000 ft.
Verus has an initial 12.5% participation interest in Bongo O.B. Ranch #1Well. Once a decision is made to move to production, all participating parties must contribute to the set-up costs and Verus’ interest will revert to an ongoing 9.375% working interest for any further drilling, appraisal and development costs on the Bongo Prospect.
