Brookside Energy Ltd (ASX:BRK) has achieved another milestone in establishing commercial production in the SWISH Area of Interest (AOI) in Oklahoma’s world-class Anadarko Basin with its third well, the high-impact Flames 3-10-1S-3W WXH1 Well drilled and cased.
Flames has reached total measured depth (TD) of ~18,140 feet, becoming Brookside’s longest well and lateral to date.
This well has been successfully cased, with the 5.5’ production casing string landed, set and cemented in place and operations to rig down Kenai Drilling Rig 18 are underway.
A “marvellous milestone”
Brookside's managing director David Prentice said: “Successfully drilling and casing our third high impact well in the SWISH AOI is another marvellous milestone for the company and our team.
“This is the last well in our HBP program, with the establishment of production in the Flames Well marking the culmination of a plan to build an operated position in the core of southern SCOOP that was first conceived in early 2018.”
Operations on schedule
Brookside advises that operations at Flames Well are proceeding on schedule, safely and without incident.
The well is operated by Black Mesa Energy, LLC, a controlled subsidiary of Brookside, and is being drilled by Kenai Drilling Company in Carter County, Oklahoma.
Flames is being drilled as a full-length horizontal well targeting the Woodford Formation at an average depth of ~7,800 feet.
The well has been drilled to a total measured depth of ~18,400 feet, with ~10,000 feet of lateral section drilled in the Woodford that will be cased with production tubing to be perforated and treated to allow production of oil and rich gas.
Next steps
At the well, rig down operations will continue before Kenai Drilling Rig 18 is released.
Black Mesa will then begin site work and installation of surface production facilities in preparation for arrival of well stimulation equipment and subsequent production of oil and rich gas.
The location of the Flames Well and Brookside’s three operated SWISH AOI DSUs.
“The SWISH area has now become the focus of many of the most highly regarded and successful publicly traded E&P companies in the US and we are now on the verge of holding our core-of-the-core acreage position in the highly sought-after Sycamore-Woodford trend by production,” Prentice said.
“With drilling operations on this well successfully executed we look forward to bringing news to our shareholders of the completion phase and ultimately the establishment of production and oil and gas sales from this Woodford well."
