GOVT KAEHNE #9-29 WELL COMPLETION UPDATE

Highlights:

  • The Muddy Formation completion has been successfully implemented

  • The Govt Kaehne #9-29 well commenced production on February 22

  • 43 bbls of oil were recovered on the first day before the well was shut in due to minor operational issues

Eon NRG Limited (“Eon” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the completion of the Govt Kaehne #9-29 well. During the drilling of the Govt Kaehne #9-29 well, 7’ of net pay in the Muddy formation was identified. The Muddy formation has produced commercial quantities of oil in a number of nearby wells, some of which have produced in excess of 100 MBO[1] .

As previously reported, the completion of the Muddy Formation commenced on January 31. The well casing was perforated between 6075 and 6084’. The Muddy Formation typically requires stimulation to produce economically and the fracture stimulation that was carried out was successful. There were some minor delays in recovery of the frac fluids due to weather and installation of various down-hole and surface pumping equipment has been completed to enable production testing to commence.

A surface pumping unit has been installed and it began pumping on Saturday February 22. Pumping was intermittent for the first day due to associated gas production and this required the installation of a backpressure valve. On the first day of pumping, 43 bbls of oil and 20 bbls of water/frac fluid (gross) were produced in a 13 hour period before the well was shut in. Further adjustments will be required in due course to re-position the downhole pump to optimize production. A more reliable flow rate is expected to be known in the coming weeks.

John Whisler, Managing Director, said “We are encouraged by the initial results of the Muddy completion in this well. It was always known that there was good local and regional oil production from the Muddy Formation and we remain confident that this well will show a good return on investment.”

The Muddy Formation is extensive across the Powder River Basin. It is a Cretaceous age formation which forms part of the Mowry petroleum system and has a long history of oil production within the Powder River Basin with the first discovery made in the late 1800’s. Although it has been referred to as a secondary target on the drilling of the Govt Kaehne well, production from the Muddy Formation is not without precedent locally (Donkey Creek North Field) and regionally (Powder River Basin). A tank battery will be installed, and first sales are expected in March 2020.
