Empyrean Energy (LON:EME) 9.62p £38.4m

The oil and gas development company with interests in China, Indonesia and the United States, announced that it has been informed by Sacgasco Limited (ASX: SGC), the operator of the Dempsey 1-15 well in the Sacramento Basin, onshore California, that the drilling of the Dempsey well is proceeding to plan.  The 13 ⅜" surface casing was set and cemented to a depth of 552 metres (1,812 feet).  The rig is presently preparing tools to drill ahead in 12 ⅟4" hole. Dempsey is a large structure mapped with 3D seismic and interpreted by Sacgasco to have the potential to hold a prospective resource of over 1 Tcf of gas in up to seven stacked target reservoirs. Aside from compelling technical merit, the Dempsey 1-15 well location sits next to existing gas metering and surface infrastructure that is owned by the joint venture. This will allow for any gas discovery to be tested and connected into the local pipeline at relatively low cost and in an accelerated timeframe.

A 7" production liner was successfully run and cemented in the well and an interval of 12 feet at the top of the 120 feet of net pay logged in the L3 sandstone was perforated in order to perform a short-term test with a drill-stem-test temporary string.  The natural controlled flow rate recorded was approximately 4,601 barrels of oil per day of 40.8 degree API oil with a water cut of 0.35% and 348psi flowing wellhead pressure over a 40/64" choke and indicated strong further production potential.
