Brookside Energy Ltd (ASX:BRK, OTC:RDFEF) has completed drilling of the surface hole at Rocket Well, which is part of the multi-well Flames-Maroons Development Plan (FMDP) in the core of the southern SCOOP Play in Oklahoma's Anadarko Basin, and is drilling the intermediate section.
With the surface hole section, Brookside advises that the surface casing has been run inside the hole and cemented in place as operations continue safely, on budget and on time.
Surface casing is a string of steel pipe used to isolate the well from fresh groundwater and to prevent the escape or migration of gas, oil or other fluids from the well into fresh groundwater.

Drilling of the intermediate section started after the surface casing was drilled out. Rocket is currently at a total measured depth of 7,047 feet.
When this section is completed, the well will be cased, casing cemented in place, and the well will kick-off and commence drilling of the curve.
