Enterprise Energy Resources Ltd. ("Enterprise" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:EER) is pleased to announce that it has spudded its first well, Archer
#1, in Sheridan County, Montana. Enterprise holds a 100% working interest in
approximately 30,000 net acres (47 net sections), subject to a 10% back-in
right.
The Archer #1 well is located on the northern edge of Enterprise's land package
and lies about 40km (25 miles) south west of several successful Bakken wells
drilled recently in Montana by one of the area's major operators. The well will
evaluate the oil potential of the underlying formations, including the thick
Bakken and Three Forks formations within the Williston Basin in North Eastern
Montana.
The Archer #1 well, with a TVD of 2,470 m (8,100 ft), is anticipated to take
about 14 days to drill, evaluate and case at an estimated cost of approximately
US$1.1MM.
"With the rapid north western migration of the productive Bakken and Three Forks
play, we anticipate that this well will demonstrate similar positive
prospectivity over Enterprise's land holdings. Historical wells in this area
have encountered both horizons and there is current local production from deeper
zones. Core taken from the well will be evaluated for potential future well
stimulation," commented Geoff Carrington, President & CEO of Enterprise. "A
successful well would have a significant impact on the Company."
