Samson Oil & Gas Limited (ASX: SSN; NYSE MKT: SSN):
NORTH STOCKYARD PROJECT, WILLIAMS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA
Little Creature 1-15-14H (SSN WI 27.7%)
Since our last report, the curved portion of the Little Creature
1-15-14H well was successfully drilled and landed in the Middle Bakken
Formation at 11,895 feet. A 7 inch intermediate casing string was set
and cemented at 11,885 feet. Currently Frontier Rig 24 is drilling the 6
inch production hole at a depth of 13,254 feet representing the initial
1,359 feet of lateral. The lateral portion of the well bore is
positioned in the Middle Bakken Formation and will be drilled to a
measured depth of approximately 19,668 feet.
Blackdog 3-13-14H (SSN WI 25.03%)
Following the completion of Little Creature well, it is currently
planned that the Frontier 24 rig will move back to the Tofte 1 pad and
drill Blackdog. This well will be a middle Bakken lateral and is
expected to follow the previously planned Swan trajectory that is the
infill location between the Rodney 1-14H well (SSN WI 27.18%) and the
Sail and Anchor 1-13-14HBK well (SSN WI 25.03%).
Billabong 2-13-14HBK (SSN WI 25.03%)
Key Energy Services Rig 370 is temporarily halting workover operations
on the Billabong 2-13-14HBK well to accommodate mobilization of Frontier
Rig 24 back on the pad to drill Blackdog 3-13-14H. The rig successfully
recovered 8 additional joints of drill pipe since the last update (or
41% of the total). Operations are expected to continue to remove the
drill pipe using the wash-over assembly method once Slawson has
completed drilling operations.
