Delta Oil & Gas successfully completes third well in Southeastern
Saskatchewan, Canada
November 2, 2009
Delta Oil and Gas, Inc, (OTC:BB – DLTA)
is extremely pleased to announce that the third horizontal
development well at Wordsworth, Saskatchewan (the “14-7-3W2
horizontal well”)
has been drilled and completed. The well was drilled to a horizontal
depth of 6,332 feet. Analysis of drilling results indicated that this
well should be capable of production rates similar to our other wells
to the west. Surface pumping equipment has been installed and a flowline
has been installed to deliver fluids to the facility located at 2A2-23-7-3W2.
The
well was placed on a pump on September 25, 2009 and we achieved
initial flow rates of approximately 150 barrels of oil per day with
equal volumes of water. It has now stabilized at approximately 120
barrels of oil per day. We anticipate that this well will produce at
its strongest levels in the first two years and expect to extract in
excess of 60,000 barrels of oil in that time. Additionally, this well
provided some important insight into the porous reservoir distribution
in this area of the field and will help in determining the locations
of future wells to maximize the recovery of hydrocarbons.
Delta owns
a 5.0% working interest in this horizontal well and has fully paid
CDN $67,253.50 as it’s proportionate share of the
drilling and completion costs of this well. Operating costs on an ongoing
basis have not yet been determined but have been budgeted for. This
area is known for prolific oil reserves in numerous Mississippian Alida
pools The Company is now in discussions with the operator with respect
the drilling of additional wells in the vicinity.
