TAG Commences Drilling Horizontal Leg of its BED4-T100 Well This just in:
TAG Oil successfully drilled the vertical pilot hole to a depth of 3,290 meters. The Company recently performed open-hole logging, formation imaging, and pressure measurement, followed by cement plug-back of the lower vertical pilot hole. TAG Oil immediately proceeded into whip-stock drilling of build and lateral horizontal sections in the Abu Roash “F” (“ARF”) reservoir.
The open hole logs showed very similar results to those completed over nearby offset wellbores in BED-1. The ARF section was approximately 50 meters in thickness and was very close to the structural elevation anticipated. The horizontal portion of the T100 well will target oil in the ARF unconventional tight, carbonate reservoir. The lateral section of the horizontal well is expected to take approximately three weeks to drill and extend over 1,000 meters. TAG Oil will then move to complete the T100 well and remains on track to be completed and begin flow back testing during November 2023. TAG Oil will provide detailed drilling and completion updates in due course.
