CALGARY,
Nov. 25, 2013 /CNW/ - Raise
Production Inc. (TSXV: RPC) ("Raise" or the "Company") has released
its financial results for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2013.
PRESIDENT'S UPDATE
Horizontal Wellbore System
Raise Production Inc. ("Raise Production or the
"Company") successfully deployed its first prototype Horizontal
Wellbore System (the "System") with our industry partner in
August 2013. The System was function
tested for a 60 day period. As reported in our press release dated
October 21, 2013, the results were
positive and confirmed that continuation of the three well test
strategy should proceed. Some conclusions from the test
indicate:
- The System can be deployed around the build section and out
into the horizontal section of the wellbore with close tolerance
components;
- A conventional single or double service rig with no additional
special modifications, other than some minor rental equipment, is
capable of performing the deployment; and
- The System activates and functions as designed and is capable
of moving liquids and gasses in phase flow along the horizontal
section of the wellbore and up to a pre-determined height in the
build section.
The points noted above have moved us
significantly along the learning curve and have enhanced our
understanding of flow regimes, how these regimes interact with
pumps in horizontal and vertical configurations and what we need to
accomplish in the next test in order to maximize impact on well
productivity. The next deployment will effectively mirror a
commercial type System. It is anticipated that the next
installation will commence mid-December
2013.
Hydraulic Submersible Pump ("HSP")
The Company has taken a write down on its
remaining HSP inventory. Continued weak market demand for
unconventional shallow gas completions has led us to conclude that
significant movement in inventory reduction over the next twelve
months is unlikely.
Engineering and Product Development
The Company's engineering group has been focused
on the modification and development of components we found would be
required in the commercial deployment as a result of the test
install. The engineering completed to date indicates that the
Company may have some potential patentable designs in addition to
the horizontal pump patent applications currently in process.
The Company is excited to be entering the
initial stage of commercial type Systems, we are looking forward to
having results that verify the need for the System and the manner
in which it allows horizontal oil and gas to be produced.
We remain appreciative of all shareholders and
stakeholders for their support throughout this development
period.
