Loon et al Case Colombia Well- Testing to Follow
14 Février 2008 - 12:57AM
Marketwired
CALGARY, ALBERTA (TSX VENTURE: LEY) announces that the Delta-1
well in Colombia has reached total depth of 8,183 feet (2,494
metres) and preparations are underway to log the well. The well,
spud on December 9th, is located within a 60,817 hectare block of
lands covered by the Buganviles Association Contract (the
"Contract") between Holywell Resources S.A. ("Holywell") and
Ecopetrol, the national oil company of Colombia. The well was
drilled slightly deeper than the initial planned total depth of
approximately 8,000 feet. Total well costs are expected to be in
the order of $3.9 million US with Loon's share being slightly over
$1 million US.
The Delta-1 was directionally drilled to intersect the target
zone approximately 250 metres from the surface location of the
Gualanday-3 oil discovery drilled in 1957. The Gualanday well had
initial test rates of 100-393 barrels of 37 degrees API oil per day
and produced approximately 300,000 barrels of oil during six years
of sporadic production from a gross reservoir section of more than
170 feet within the Caballos Formation. Delta-1 encountered the
primary limestone objective in the Caballos Formation approximately
254 feet lower than in the Gualanday well. The zone, with a gross
thickness of approximately 156 feet, was intermittently oil-stained
throughout with the best oil shows and higher gas content in the
top 80 feet of the zone. The well will be tested following logging
and once casing has been set.
In the event that the well is productive, fifty percent of the
lands or approximately 75,000 acres will be retained for a period
of two years. In the event that the well is not cased for
commercial production, the lands will expire. Under the terms of an
agreement with Kappa Energy Colombia Limited S.A. ("Kappa"), Loon
participated through Kappa in an arrangement between Kappa and
Holywell and is paying 26.4% of the costs of the drilling and
completion of the Delta-1 well to earn a 20% working interest in
the well and any of the retained lands.
