Round Mountain well locations
SMOOT 2 was a conservative offset about 170 feet SW of Smoot 1. It was spudded on June 5[th ] and reached total depth of 1700’ on 6[th] June. The well intersected the primary target low to Smoot 1 as predicted. Log analysis indicated 61 feet of net pay. A 24’ interval was perforated and the well was placed on production on 16[th] June. Smoot 2 provided valuable information on oil/water contact, reservoir distribution and Smoot #1 reservoir drainage and area.
SMOOT 3 was a horizontal well, spudded on 8[th] June. The well was drilled without incident to 1514’ where the drill string became stuck. Nine days were spent retrieving the fish. After 7 5/8” casing was set at 1800’, a 810’ long horizontal hole was drilled to a total depth of 2610’. Excellent shows were seen throughout, with oil over the shakers. A 4 1/2” slotted liner was run to 2610’ and the rig moved off on 26[th] June.
SMOOT 4 was drilled as an inclined well to better site the surface location. It was drilled without incident to a total depth of 2700’ with shows down to 2185’. The drill string became stuck at 1900’ whilst pulling out of the hole to log. The fish was successfully recovered after 4 days. The well intersected 70 feet of hydrocarbon pay. The well will be brought onto production as soon as possible.

PRODUCTION SHEEP SPRINGS:
There were some external power interruptions that resulted in the field being shut down for as long as 36 hours. We are looking at install an emergency generator to alleviate this problem in the future. Sheep Springs production over the quarter was also negatively impacted by the workover of C-5 (down three days, then successfully returned to production) and C-4.
During the quarter, well C-7 was shut in to preserve gas supplies for a future steam injection project.
ROUND MOUNTAIN:
Two wells, Smoot 1 and 2 were successfully brought on production in the quarter. Smoot 3 is being prepared for production at the end of the reporting period.
At SMOOT 1 , there were initial problems during May in replicating the excellent flow rates achieved during testing, but after the initial 40’ perforated interval was reperforated on 6[th] May the well produced dry oil at rates averaging 102 bopd, as announced to the ASX on 24[th] May.
SMOOT 2 came on production on 16[th] June. Production stabilized at about 30 bopd at the end of the reporting period.
SMOOT 3 is being brought into production at the end the reporting period. Results will be announced as soon as they are available.
The four well programme at Round Mountain this year cost US$2.6 million and over US$800k of gross oil revenue has already been generated from Smoot 1 and 2, significantly exceeding the total cost of those two initial wells.

Incremental’s plan is to observe production trends in our new Round Mountain wells for several months before initiating additional activity.

WORKOVERS SHEEP SPRINGS:
T he long awaited C-4 FracPac was performed by Halliburton on June 21[st] in an attempt to increase production and limit sand ingress. Production increased from 6 bopd to 12 bopd after the job.
H & P #2 was perforated in the Carneros over a 30’ interval. The well flowed dry gas at 275 thousand cubic feet per day. The well then loaded up with fluids and has died. We are evaluating re-completion options in the well.
Three wells underwent an inexpensive chemical treatment during the quarter. Production increased by about 6 bopd as a result of this work, resulting in payout of the treatment in just a matter of months.
