Dejour Drills Mancos Gas Test at Kokopelli

Business Wire
Federal 14-15-7-21 Log Confirms Significant
Mancos Hydrocarbon Potential
Dejour Energy Inc. (NYSE MKT: DEJ / TSX: DEJ)
(“Dejour” or the “Company”), an independent
oil and natural gas exploration and production company operating in
North America's Piceance Basin and Peace River Arch regions,
reports on current development progress at the Kokopelli Project
(“Kokopelli”).
Since the commencement of this phase of Kokopelli in September
2014, Dejour with its operating partner (the “Operator”) have
completed the drilling, casing, fracking and testing of the
produced water disposal (PWD) well on Pad 21A, vital to the
economics of the ongoing Kokopelli production programs. This well
is now ready to equip as a disposal well for produced water for all
wells expected to be drilled on the Jolley Mesa portion of this
south lease at Kokopelli, once associated facilities are in
place.
Subsequently, on Pad 21B, less than 500 yards away, the working
interest partners successfully drilled and cased 7 Williams Fork
wells (Federal 14-15-1-21 through Federal 14-15-8-21) and a single
vertical 13600’ Mancos test well (Federal 14-15-7-21) as
contemplated in the original 2014 drill program by the
Operator.
Logs to date of the Williams Fork indicate production profiles
consistent with existing current production. Logs of the Mancos
section encountered in the last well indicate the presence of gas
throughout this deeper zone. Data continues to be interpreted with
additional cased-hole logs to be run in February.
With this drill phase now at a close, comprehensive fracking,
completion and tie in options are now being assessed by the
Operator. Production rates of the entire suite of wells will be
established once the wells are on line.
Dejour owns an ongoing 25% working interest in the Kokopelli
Project. The successful establishment of gas from high pressure
Mancos could add significantly to both the production profile of
the entire project and the value of the total Kokopelli
resource.
“The findings to date related to the Mancos section at Kokopelli
creates the potential for a multi-zonal resource to highlight this
Colorado-based holding. Under the Operator’s stewardship, this
developmental phase of the Kokopelli Project has moved according to
plan and Dejour is now positioned to benefit from a most attractive
12 well U.S. production base with the ability to expand as the gas
price dictates. There are currently 208 undrilled locations in the
Williams Fork, alone, on this 2200-acre property, prior to any
lease expansion. Completion success of this Mancos well is expected
to increase that number and demonstrably increase the deliverable
resource,” stated Robert Hodgkinson, CEO.
