Delta Oil & Gas Drills First Well at its King City, California Prospect
10 January 2012 - 1:00AM
Business Wire
Delta Oil and Gas, Inc, (OTCBB:DLTA) is pleased to report
that Delta and its partners have drilled the first discovery well
(“SBV-2-32”) at its King City, California Prospect. The SBV-2-32
well was spud on November 22, 2011 and was drill to a total depth
of 3,468 feet on November 29, 2011. Casing was set and cemented in
place to total depth. Two intervals showed promise for the
production of commercially viable quantities of hydrocarbons. The
first interval of approximately 30 feet with 12 API gravity showed
good oil staining on drilling and provided a good log response. The
second interval of interest indicated approximately 70 feet of oil
pay with 17 – 18 API gravity also with good oil staining during
drilling and very good log response.
We expect that both sands will be tested within the next 30 days
with completion efforts to follow shortly thereafter. Following a
successful completion of this initial well, Delta and partners
expect to drill and test additional wells in this area upon
obtaining the required permitting from the County.
Background:
On May 25, 2009, Delta entered into a Farm-out agreement with
Sunset Exploration to participate in a drilling and exploration of
approximately 10,000 acres of land located in Monterey County,
California. Delta agreed to pay 66.67% of all costs to casing point
expended in respect of the initial test well to earn a 40% Working
Interest. On all subsequent wells, Delta agreed to pay 40% of the
costs to earn its 40% Working Interest.
To date, all referenced lands were shot with a 2 dimensional
seismic swath as well as a gravity survey. The prospect area is in
and around the King City Oilfield, and the current data will enable
the Company to effectively test the entire Monterey sections.
