Petrichor Energy Encouraged by Flow Back of Frac on the Hinson #1
Well and Initiates Permitting Second Well
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Mar 25, 2014) -
Petrichor Energy Inc. (TSX-VENTURE:PTP)(FRANKFURT:YQN) (the
"Company" or "PTP") is pleased to announce that the completion of
the Hinson #1 well in the Marble Falls Formation (refer to Press
Release March 5, 2014) is flowing back at an initial rate of 200
barrels a day and after the recovery of approximately 39.1% (1,510
barrels) of the frac fluid, the Hinson #1 well is now starting to
show significant hydrocarbons. Readers are cautioned that further
pumping will be required prior to being able to estimate a
stabilized daily production rate.
Given the encouraging results, the Company and the operator,
BlakEnergy Ltd., have initiated the permitting and construction of
the location for the second well, being the BlakEnergy #1 Garner
well (the "Well") on the Marble Falls Prospect acreage. The Well
will be located approximately at the surface coordinates of
Longitude -98.2379022, Latitude 33.4396868 (the in Jack County,
Texas. This Well will be drilled to a depth of approximately 6,400
feet to test the Strawn Sands, Caddo Lime, Marble Falls, Barnet
Shale, and Ellenberger.
The Mississippi Lime is a Mississippian age porous limestone
formation that is deposited beneath the Barnett Shale, which is
analogous to the Mississippi Lime play in Kansas and Oklahoma. The
Marble Falls formation is a Pennsylvanian age limestone, analogous
to the Strawn Lime play in West Texas. To date, independent
operators have drilled over 50 vertical and horizontal multi-stage
fraced wells in the Marble Falls and Mississippi limestone with
positive results.
