  • McLeod 1705 has reached total depth of 7,835 feet recording strong oil and gas shows over a 50 foot interval in the Strawn Sands - the same interval is producing oil to the east (Bast Field), potentially expanding this field

  • The Cambrian Sands were encountered as a 260 foot clastic interval encountered to the base of the well. There were modest gas shows and minor fluorescence throughout the interval - hydrocarbon potential will be evaluated on wireline log results

  • Wireline logging has commenced with results to be evaluated before a decision is made on which zone(s) to case/production test

Winchester Energy Limited (“Winchester”; ASX: WEL) is pleased to advise that the Blue Line Rig No. 7 has reached a total depth (TD) of 7,835 feet in the McLeod 1705 well located at the Bast Deep prospect within its extensive lease position in the East Permian Basin, Texas.

On 15 June 2021 Winchester announced intermittent strong gas shows with fluorescence over a 500 foot interval in the uppermost secondary target, the Upper Cisco Sands (this formation is currently in production in other Winchester wells).

In a highly encouraging development, a 50 foot sandstone zone with strong gas and fluorescence shows was encountered within the Strawn Sands. This zone has produced some 200,000+ barrels of oil from 4 wells located approximately 3,000 feet to the east (Bast Field) and, if productive, 17-5 would significantly expand the areal extent of this field to the west.

The Cambrian Sands exploration target, 1000 foot below the Strawn Sands interval described above is mapped within a closed seismic 4 way dip closure. A 260 foot thick clastic interval was encountered to the base of the well, much of which is coarse, porous sand. There were modest gas shows and minor fluorescence throughout the section.
