ENERGY INC. (TSX-V: ARW) (OTCQX: ARWJF)
(http://www.arowayenergy.com/) (the "Company") is pleased to
announce that the Company has executed a farmout agreement with two
private companies who will jointly construct and install a water
disposal facility to service Aroway Energy's owned and operated
West Hazel heavy oil property in western Saskatchewan. The private
companies will begin building the disposal facility immediately,
including the drilling of a new disposal well into the Dina
formation. These new facilities will provide Aroway Energy with
sufficient water handling capacity to facilitate the recompletion
of two existing shut-in wells, new infill drilling, as well as our
planned optimization on the existing producing wells. Current heavy
oil production at West Hazel will be temporarily shut-in during
construction to accommodate the safe installation of the
facilities. The two private companies will own and operate the
facilities until a certain payout is reached, when Aroway then
becomes the majority working interest owner and operator.
Chris Cooper, President & CEO commented, "The new disposal
facility is the key component in Aroway's plan to optimize
production at West Hazel. The new facility will provide more than
enough capacity for Aroway to turn on existing shut-in wells and
drill new infill wells immediately adding production and
significantly reducing our operating costs."
Key attributes of the disposal facility:
- Replaces the west hazel fields’ current water trucking and
disposal costs,
- Significant reduction in operating costs, both now and over
the fields' producing life,
- Allows the company to recomplete two suspended wells,
thereby increasing the heavy oil production,
- Facilitates the economics and drilling of new infill
wells,
- Extends the reserve life of the property.
Mr. Cooper further commented, "We plan to continue to produce
our new Kirkpatrick Lake oil well at a rate of approximately 100
barrels per day until the disposal facility is constructed and in
full operation, in order to maintain steady cash flow while West
Hazel is shut-in. We will begin to increase the production rate on
the new Kirkpatrick Lake well to a level that remains within the
maximum rate limitation of the pool while preserving the long-term
integrity of the reservoir."
