CALGARY, May 7, 2014 /CNW/ - (TSX-V: PFC) - PetroFrontier Corp. ("PetroFrontier") is very pleased to announce
that the second well in its 2014 Work Plan and Budget (the "2014 WP&B")
has now spud and drilling is underway. The OzBeta-1 well is a vertical
exploration well located in Exploration Permit 127. This is the second
of up to five vertical test wells to be drilled as part of the 2014
WP&B. All wells will include an extensive open hole evaluation program
and up to three of the wells will be cased for future hydraulic
fracture stimulation and production testing.
Prior to the spud of the OzBeta-1 well, Statoil Australia Theta B.V.,
PetroFrontier's joint venture partner and the operator of the 2014
WP&B, used the rig to successfully abandon the Owen-3H well in
accordance with Australian regulations. The 2014 WP&B is progressing on
schedule and as approved by the Joint Operating Committee.
Subsequent to drilling the OzBeta-1 well, the rig will be moved to the
third well location of the five well program, OzGamma-1, located in
Exploration Permit 103. Readers are encouraged to review the current
investor presentation online to see both the well locations and seismic
cross sections.
