  • The potential pay zone, from 6,637-6,721 feet, demonstrates strong oil shows and visual vuggy porosity.

  • Casing of White Hat 2106 is underway ahead of flow testing with any oil and gas production to go to sales immediately.

Winchester Energy Limited (Winchester or Company), as operator, advises that a total depth of 6,820 feet has been reached at the White Hat 2106 (Winchester - 100% WI) well located within its extensive lease position in the East Permian Basin, Texas.

A highly encouraging 84 foot potential oil pay zone from 6,637-6,721 feet with strong oil shows and visual vuggy porosity was observed within the Ellenburger Formation. Wireline logs have been run suggesting net reservoir over the majority of the gross interval however it is noted that estimation of porosity values is problematic in vuggy reservoirs.

The well is currently being cased ahead of flow testing which will quantify the reservoir quality and reserves potential of the well.

Wireline logs have also identified potentially productive intervals within both the Strawn Fry Sand Member (Fry Sand) and Canyon Reef (Strawn age) however the underlying Ellenburger Formation clearly represents the most attractive production completion option at this stage. Both overlying intervals will be assessed for future production.
