This bodes very well for SCS. Same area similar reservoir??
Arcan Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ARN) ("Arcan" or the "Company") is pleased to report initial test results from its second horizontal multi-stage fractured at 5-34-67-8W5 (surface location) 10-27-67-8W5 (bottom hole location) well in its Swan Hills reef development program.
The Swan Hills (5-34)10-27-67-8W5Hz ("10-27") Horizontal Multi-Stage Fractured Well
Arcan is pleased to announce that after an eight day production flow test, Arcan has established that the well has a productive capacity over the test period in excess of 700 barrels per day of 40 API light sweet oil plus 50 boe per day of natural gas. Arcan has a 100% working interest in the well. Arcan is currently equipping the well with permanent production facilities, anticipating that forthcoming production will be trucked to an Arcan-operated facility. Arcan will continue to evaluate the production capability of this well once on production. The new 10-27 well was drilled over five miles away from Arcan's first horizontal multi-stage fractured well at (12-29)9-29-68-8W5Hz ("9-29"), which currently produces in excess of 400 barrels per day of 40 API sweet oil with no water cut after over 10 weeks of production since the well was tied into Arcan's operated production facility on February 23, 2010.
The 10-27 well was drilled vertically into the Beaverhill Lake carbonate reservoir on the Swan Hills complex and was cored indicating over 14 net meters of oil-bearing reef. Arcan decided to whipstock horizontally to the 10-27 bottom hole location after announcing the acquisition of the remaining interests in the associated and offsetting lands. The horizontal section encountered approximately 1,200 meters in oil bearing reef and was completed using 10 separate, 60 cubic meter 28% hydrochloric acid fractured stimulation treatments on April 13, 2010.
Update of Arcan's drilling program
Arcan has drilled and completed two horizontal multi-stage fractured wells to date, being the 9-29 and 10-27 wells. Arcan is currently utilizing three drilling rigs and anticipates it will soon have completed drilling six (4.9 net) additional horizontal wells during the 2010 spring break-up period with all six (4.9 net) completions to follow in the second or third quarter of 2010, depending on weather conditions. These wells are all approximately 2,500 meters deep with a 1,000 meter horizontal leg for a total length of approximately 3,500 meters.
