About Flames Well
Flames Well is operated by Black Mesa Energy, LLC, a controlled subsidiary of Brookside. It was drilled by Kenai Drilling Company in Carter County, Oklahoma, as a full-length horizontal well targeting the Woodford Formation at an average depth of ~7,800 feet.
The well was drilled to a total measured depth of ~18,140 feet and was cased with production tubing to be perforated and treated to allow the production of oil and rich gas.
On-site at Flames Well, the tank battery has been laid out and tank pedestals built. Production equipment has arrived on site including an oil and gas separator, heater treater and oil storage tanks.
Installation and plumbing-in of the surface production facilities is underway. A coiled tubing unit has been mobilised and the well Christmas tree has been pressure tested.
Brookside said that operations were proceeding on schedule, safely and without incident.
“Significant momentum”
“Completing the Flames Well and the establishment of oil and gas sales from this DSU continues the significant operational momentum we have built in the business over the last 12 months or so,” Prentice said.
“We look forward to providing further updates for our shareholders and investors on the operations at Flames and generally on progress within SWISH over the coming weeks and months.”
The company will now complete installation and plumbing-in of surface production facilities in preparation for the completion operations and production.
This work incorporates move in and the rig up of completion equipment before completion operations begin.
