CALGARY, Canada / TheNewswire / January 12, 2018 — Sonoro
Energy Ltd. (“Sonoro” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: SNV) is pleased to announce that following the LG-1 Updip well being cased and
cemented, the Company fully demobilized the drilling rig and associated equipment and services. The Company is now undertaking
further well analysis of the well results in line with standard industry practices.
The preliminary conclusions are as follows:
-
- The four way dip closure of the LG structure is sealed by a claystone/shale interval which is at least 200m thick
(evident from overpressure seen below the seal throughout the drilling and testing of the well)
- The reservoir intervals comprise interbedded packages of sandstones deposited by turbidite currents in a deepwater
environmental setting.
- Initial analysis indicates that the sandstones are clearly porous and largely unconsolidated
- Petrophysical analysis, conventional core and cuttings data indicate a 200m interval of interest in the well of
which 79m are sandstones with reservoir quality (> 30% log porosity). The aim of the Drill Stem Test (“DST”) program
was to accurately determine how much of this 79m of potential reservoir would actually flow hydrocarbons as most are too thin
individually to calculate as pay using the resistivity log
- The open hole DST results were constrained by mechanical problems brought on by the unconsolidated nature of the
sandstones. Although hydrocarbons flowed to surface they did so in an uncontrolled manner which did not allow for accurate
quantification.
- The unconsolidated nature of the sandstones may indicate high permeabilities, which together with the overpressures
noted while drilling could provide the opportunity for strong productivity rates in future cased hole well testings.
- Results confirm that the Pliocene Lisu Formation is likely to be a valid exploration target throughout the basin
where several other leads and prospects have been mapped.
The Company has also met with SKK Migas, the Indonesian oil and gas regulator, to present the results of the well on the
Budong Budong PSC land. SKK Migas has agreed that further analysis and extended production tests is warranted to prove
commerciality. Subsequent to this meeting, the Company has submitted its extension request to SKK Migas on the current license to
continue with the program. The current license is set to expire on January 15, 2018 and the Company expects to receive a multi-year
extension on the Budong Budong PSC imminently.
The Company also announces that it has completed it’s previously announced consolidation of common shares at a ratio of 1
common share for 4 common shares. The shares will trade on a post consolidation basis on January 12, 2018. Subsequent to the share
consolidation, the Company will have 44,328,616 common shares and 16,071,236 common share warrants outstanding.
