Brookside Energy Ltd (ASX:BRK) has begun drilling at its second well in the SWISH Area of Interest (AOI) in the world-class Anadarko Basin - the high-impact Rangers 36-25 SXH 1 Well.
Operations are continuing safely and without incident. Now that the company has set and cemented the surface casing for the well, and installed and tested the well head and blowout preventer (BOP) stack, drilling has begun in the vertical section of the well.
As of about 7.30 am CDT on Tuesday, December 21, 2021, the well was drilling ahead at a depth of approximately 8,640 feet. BRK will continue to drill vertically until the kick-off point at 9,800 feet, after which the intermediate casing will be set.
From there the company intends to continue drilling to build the well bore curve and land in the target formation.
