ASX Announcement
27 July 2011
O.B. Ranch #2 preparing for extended well test
-
O.B. Ranch #2 (Bongo #2) well successfully perforated and fracture stimulated
-
Well clean up is in progress in preparation for an extended production test
Verus Investments (ASX: VIL) is pleased to announce that the O.B. Ranch #2 (Bongo #2) appraisal/development well in Wharton County, Texas, has been successfully perforated and fracture stimulated over three intervals in the Cook Mountain Formation.
The well is currently being flowed back in order to clean up all the fluids used to fracture stimulate the well. Once the well has adequately cleaned up, the well will be placed on an extended well test. Once stabilised flow rates have been achieved the market will be updated.
The Bongo #2 well, spudded on 17 May 2011, is the second well to be drilled on the Bongo Prospect. This is the first Bongo appraisal/development well targeting the Eocene, Cook Mountain sands interval which is the primary interval currently producing in the O.B. Ranch #1 (Bongo #1) discovery well.
Bongo #2 has been drilled in a higher structural position than the Bongo #1 well, and both the log information and seismic data support a thicker pay section, better sorted, higher porosity sand within the Cook Mountain section than those found in the Bongo #1.
Analysis of the log data also indicated potential pay in the shallower Frio and Yegua formations at approximately 5,530ft and 9,000ft. The Frio sands are yet to be commercially evaluated.
Encountering the Yegua and Frio sands in this well was very encouraging and the Verus team looks forward to developing further the well’s potential commerciality.
