BIGHORN PETROLEUM LTD. TO PRODUCE FROM 3 NATURAL GAS WELLS 1st QUARTER 2007
Bighorn Petroleum Ltd.'s Triassic halfway development wells, in the Trutch area, are proceeding into production. A new Triassic halfway development well, in the Trutch area, is now planned for this winter season, weather permitting, and work continues on the Prophet River d-60-E/94-G-15 Slave Point exploratory well.
First-quarter 2007 production
Both the FET et al. Tommy c-25-A/94-G-15 and FET et al. Tommy b-56-A/94-G-15 natural gas development wells have been successfully tested and completed, building upon the success of the FET et al. Tommy c-36-A/94-G-15 Triassic halfway discovery well, which test flowed 1.65 million standard cubic feet per day after stimulation. The operator, Focus Energy Trust (FET), is now equipping the c-25-A, c-36-A and b-56-A wells for production and is extending pipeline from the existing infrastructure at Tommy Lake. FET will run 14,217 metres of six-inch pipe from Tommy Lake to the c-36-A well, followed by a total of 1,688 m of four-inch pipe from c-36-A to the b-56-A and c-25-A wells. The company has a 2.5-per-cent royalty interest on the farm-in interest of the participation partners of Flying A Petroleum Ltd., Wyn Developments Ltd. and Northern Hemisphere Development Corp. and there are no cash commitments required. Production is to begin late February, 2007. Initial production rates will be provided at that time.
