Brookside Energy Ltd (ASX:BRK) has started the next phase of preparing the high-impact Rangers 36-25 SXH 1 well in Oklahoma’s world-class Anadarko Basin for production with multi-stage hydraulic stimulation underway.
Cudd Energy Services is carrying out this work with the first few stages pumped as per Brookside’s completion design for this well, which is the company’s second well in the SWISH Area of Interest (AOI).
Brookside managing director David Prentice said: “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.”
Stimulation process
Each stage of the hydraulic stimulation will be treated individually before moving onto the next stage, beginning at the toe of the well.
Operations to date are proceeding on schedule and being conducted safely and without incident.
Brookside and its controlled US subsidiary Black Mesa Energy anticipate that this part of the completion operations will conclude late next week.
This work is part of continuing ‘plug and perforate’ completion operations on the Rangers Well.
Prentice added: “We are looking forward to bringing news of the conclusion of this phase of work - flow back and then first sales of oil and gas - to our shareholders shortly.”
