Marketwired
RENO, NV announces its farmout agreement with Questar
Exploration and Production Company , a subsidiary of Questar Corp.
traded on the New York Stock Exchange (Questar). Pursuant to the
terms of the agreement, Questar will initially re-enter its well
located in Section 22 to define the reservoir. Based upon the
results of the test well, Questar has the option to drill a new
well with a horizontal component of approximately 2,500 feet in
section 21, Township 7S, Range 21E, Uintah County, Utah. The well
is to test the H4a zone of the Greenriver formation at Brennan
Bottoms Oil Field. This acreage is a lease that Pacific has a 7%
working interest.
The acreage of the Farmout Agreement will be incorporated into
an approximately 8,000-acre Exploration Unit which will be operated
by Questar. The details of the operating Unit will be finalized
after the reservoir is defined by the test wells and existing well
data. To date, Questar has successfully re-entered and drilled
horizontally in its existing wells at the Brennan Bottoms Unit.
Well production rates have ranged from 120 to 200 bbls of oil per
day with minimal water production.
Based upon the results, Pacific Energy will also evaluate the
drilling of horizontal wells to develop the H4A zone in its acreage
in the northern portion of Brennan Bottoms Field, which will not be
included in the Unit. This acreage consists of approximately 1,800
acres.
Well costs are estimated at approximately $2.2 million dollars
for a horizontal well. The formation depth is approximately 6,800
feet.
Pacific Energy estimates that approximately 8 wells will be
required to develop the field.
Pacific Energy is still in negotiations with suitors for the
sale of the company or certain assets including an oil and gas
company that is listed on a major international stock exchange.
