“We are delighted to see oil and gas observed in the temporary facilities at such an early stage in the completion fluid recovery phase,” says MD Dave Prentice.
The well will be drilled to a projected total measured depth of ~18,300 feet, with ~10,000 feet of lateral section drilled in the Woodford that will subsequently be cased with production tubing.
In line with expectations, during operations to circulate the drilling fluid at the well in the SWISH Area of Interest, oil and gas were recovered to surface.
“Pay-out of the Jewell Well and the imminent delivery of production from our Rangers and Flames wells provides a very strong launching pad that will enable us to unlock value in our large inventory of low-risk high-impact proved undeveloped
Now, it’s on to the final stage of completion operations at Rangers, which Brookside expects to close out in the coming weeks.
Drilling operations at the well — the third in a trifecta of exploration prospects in a held-by-production program in the SWISH Area of Interest — are proceeding on schedule, safely and without incident.
“It is very pleasing to see the Cudd Energy Services people working closely with our Black Mesa team and consultants to complete our high-impact Rangers Well for production,” says MD.
With spudding now complete, the energy stock is preparing to drill the third in a trifecta of wells in its held-by-production program.
“All of the surface production facilities are in place, and we look forward to providing further updates as the completion process is concluded and flow back commences,” says MD David Prentice.
Flames is the last in a trifecta of wells targeted in a held-by-production drill campaign at Anadarko, with both the Jewell and Rangers assets spudded in recent months.
Works have also commenced to connect the high-impact Rangers Well to a nearby gas sales line in preparation for completion operations and subsequent production.
Cudd Energy Services (CES) will supply and operate the equipment and personnel for the completion of the Rangers Well under the supervision of the Black Mesa team.
It will be the third well in Brookside’s ‘core of the core’ holding in the Anadarko Basin and follows the high-impact Jewell and Rangers wells.
