Mr. W. Robert Bell reports
STEALTH VENTURES LTD. - DRILLING OF THIRD HORIZONTAL CBM WELL UNDERWAY AT CUMBERLAND, NOVA SCOTIA, SECOND WELL BEING COMPLETED
Stealth Ventures Ltd. has successfully drilled a 738-metre horizontal lateral in the No. 2 coal seam at its Coalmine Brook No. 12 drill site at Springhill, N.S. The service rig is currently on location doing preliminary completion work in anticipation of production testing over the next several months.
The drilling rig has been moved to the Coalmine Brook No. 13 location on the same drill pad and is currently drilling a horizontal lateral in the Marker O coal seam. This multiwell drill pad was designed for up to 12 wells, targeting four different coal seams, drilled at three different azimuths, with well heads spaced on 30-metre centres.
The Coalmine Brook No.3 well, which was equipped for production in June of this year, will be undergoing a clean-out operation focused on removing coal fines from the slotted liner. A nitrogen coil tubing unit will be used in this operation when it has been released by the operator who mobilized the equipment from Western Canada. This equipment will remain at Stealth's Coalmine Brook operations until all three wells are substantially into the production-testing phase. The Coalmine Brook No. 3 has a 430-metre horizontal lateral in the No. 6 coal seam
