Sun Resource (ASX: SUR) draws closer towards establishing oil production from the Richland Oil Project in Texas with fracture stimulation operations underway at its first Woodbine horizontal well.
The 26 state frac on the 6,100 feet horizontal well bore section at the Beeler-1H well is scheduled to be completed by Tuesday next week.
The well will then be tested with a flow-back and clean-up process to recover fraccing fluids ahead of the measurement of final hydrocarbon flow rates.
Operator Richland Resources Corporation has also cased the second horizontal well, John Beeler-1H, as well as the John Beeler-2 vertical well and is now waiting to frac both wells.
Fraccing operations at John Beeler-1H are expected to start on 15 November after work at Beeler-1H is completed. The frac spread will then move to carry out works at John Beeler-2.
Drilling of the horizontal bore at the Ellis-1H well is also currently underway with multi-stage fraccing scheduled for late November 2012.
Sun has a 13.5417% working interest (10.1563% net revenue interest) in Beeler-1H and 16.67% working interest (12.5% NRI) in the other wells.
