Brookside Energy Ltd (ASX:BRK) has completed drilling the horizontal section of the high-impact Rangers 36-25 SXH 1 Well in Oklahoma’s world-class Anadarko Basin with the well reaching its total measured depth (TD) of ~17,460 feet.
Encouragingly, extensive oil and gas shows continued to be observed in mud logging of the Sycamore formation in the horizontal section.
These hydrocarbon shows are consistent with the company’s expectations.
Operations at Rangers, Brookside’s second well in the SWISH Area of Interest (AOI), are proceeding on schedule, safely and without incident and the well bore is now being conditioned in preparation for casing.
Targeting Sycamore Formation
The Rangers Well is a Black Mesa Energy operated well being drilled by Kenai Drilling Company in Stephens County, Oklahoma. Black Mesa is a controlled subsidiary of Brookside.
The well is being drilled as a mid-length horizontal well targeting the Sycamore Formation at an average depth of ~9,750 feet.
Around 7,500 feet of lateral (horizontal) section has been drilled in the Sycamore that will subsequently be cased with production tubing to be perforated and treated to allow the production of oil and rich gas.
Next steps
The horizontal section of the well will be cased with production casing string and the Kenai Rig 18 will then be demobilized.
Following this, the site will be prepared for the arrival of well stimulation equipment with building of the production tank battery and oil and gas separators to commence.
