Cuda Oil and Gas Inc. Announces Drilling Success, Higher Production Levels and Increasing Response to Injection at its Shanno...
14 February 2020 - 12:00AM
Cuda Oil and Gas Inc. (“
Cuda” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV: CUDA) is pleased to announce a
100% success rate with the wells drilled to date as part of the
Company’s ongoing drilling program at its Shannon Secondary
Recovery Unit (“
SSRU”) in the Powder River Basin,
Wyoming, resulting in higher corporate production. The Company is
also pleased to confirm that the reservoir response to the
previously announced gas injection in oil producers around the
first injection well at SSRU is translating into increased
production.
Glenn Dawson, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Cuda, stated: “The results of the first 13 wells of a 15
well drill program indicate a 100% success rate. Seven (7) wells
are now onstream and are driving production higher.”
Dawson also added: “Oil production from several
wells surrounding the first injector (William Valentine) have
increased in response to the injected volumes delivered in 2019.
Field estimates for January 2020 continue to confirm this upward
trend. The BFU 32-27 V Well increased to 65 bbls/d based on current
field estimates, as compared to 44 bbls/d in August 2019, a 48%
increase with only a minimal amount of injected volumes. The
Company is expecting further increases in production as full
commercial injection is implemented in Q1, 2020 and the flood
advances in the reservoir. The Company is very pleased with this
initial gas flood response, allowing the operator to accelerate
development drilling of the project.”
Highlights
Drilling commenced in late September 2019, with
13 wells successfully drilled and completed. Seven (7) wells are
now on-stream and have increased current field estimates of
production at SSRU to 1,250 bbls/d, 343 bbl/d net to the
Company.
A total of 41 oil wells, including the eight (8)
injector patterns, will be operating by the end of Q1, 2020.
Injection is currently ongoing at higher rates than the predicted
reservoir modelling. The improved injectivity could be an
indication of better permeability which could lead to oil
production response ahead of forecast and acceleration of the
predicted recovery cycle of the project.
