Cuda Oil and Gas Inc. Announces Commencement of Commercial Injection and Reservoir Response at Barron Flats – Shannon Secon...
12 December 2019 - 12:00AM
Cuda Oil and Gas Inc. (“
Cuda” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV: CUDA) is pleased to announce
that full scale injection operations have commenced at the Barron
Flats Shannon Unit (“
SSRU”) in Converse County,
Wyoming.
Glenn Dawson, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Cuda, stated: “The Company has now moved to a full-scale
optimized, gas flood development program at SSRU. For further
context, an analog pool at Sand Dunes Field located adjacent to
SSRU realized production increases of 250% under a similar
gas-injection secondary recovery scheme in the 1990’s.”
Highlights:
- The injection of field solution gas
into the William Valentine well commenced on June 28, 2019 to
perform a cyclic gas stimulation test. From June 28, 2019 to
November 30, 2019, approximately 35,000 mcf was injected at an
average rate of 350 mcf/d.
- The Company commissioned the
Central Delivery Point (“CDP”) facility at the beginning of
December. Today, the CDP is injecting liquid-rich Shannon Field
solution gas and Y-Grade condensate into the William Valentine
injection well at an average rate of approximately 1750 mcf/d at
800 psi tubing pressure. This remains below the WOGCC approved
injection capability of 2360 psi tubing pressure.
- The current commercial rates of
injection volumes are approximately five (5) times those of the
cyclic stimulation test.
- Simultaneously, gas-oil ratios
(“GOR”) from the adjacent wells trended lower following the
commencement of injection, a positive indication of increasing
reservoir pressure in the Shannon undersaturated oil
reservoir.
- Given the positive performance of
the current injection efforts, the Company advises that the number
of gas-flood patterns currently being developed has increased from
seven (7) to eight (8), of which six (6) are expected to be
operational by year-end 2019.
