-
Wireline logs have identified an encouraging 8 foot gross pay interval in the Strawn Sands formation in the McLeod 1705 well – the same interval interpreted to have produced over 200,000 barrels of oil in the nearby Bast Oil Field
-
If successful, production from this interval would significantly expand the Bast Oil Field to the west, opening numerous opportunities to further expand production
-
The Strawn Sand section in McLeod 1705 will be perforated and fracture stimulated in late July
-
An image log analysis is underway and will tabulate reservoir properties in the Upper Cisco sands – this zone may be completed for production following results from the underlying Strawn interval

Winchester Energy Limited (“Winchester”; ASX: WEL) is pleased to advise that preliminary wireline log analysis of the McLeod 1705 well located at the Bast Deep prospect within its extensive lease position in the East Permian Basin, Texas has been completed.

Wireline logs have identified an encouraging 8 foot gross pay (5 foot net pay) interval (6,461 - 6,469 feet depth) in the Strawn Sand formation in the newly drilled McLeod 1705 well.

This same approximately 8 foot thick interval is interpreted to have produced some 200,000+ barrels of oil from 4 wells located approximately 3,000 feet to the east (Bast Oil Field). If productive, McLeod 1705 would significantly expand the areal extent of this field to the west which would open numerous opportunities to significantly and inexpensively lift oil production through re-completions of existing wells as well as new drill locations.

The Company is currently running casing to incorporate the entire prospective 50 foot Strawn Sand section where strong oil and gas shows were observed. The Upper Cisco Sands will also be cased to ensure flow testing can be completed across this encouraging interval.
A perforation and fracture stimulation programme will now be designed targeting the broad Strawn Sand section (incorporating the gross pay identified plus other prospective zones). This programme will occur in late July with any resultant production able to be put to sales immediately.

A formation image log analysis (FMI) is underway and will tabulate reservoir properties in the Upper Cisco sands. This zone appears highly prospective and, depending on results, may be completed for production following results (or potentially oil production) from the underlying Strawn interval.
