We hope this update finds you well. This week has once again seen significant progress toward bringing our wells into production. Please find a summary of current operations below.
The pumping unit has been installed, with the horse's head now ready to put on. The polish rods are next in the scope of works and are scheduled for completion next week.
This week our team spent 48 hours swabbing the well. During this process we observed increases in the oil cut and strong gas blows, as shown in the accompanying video. We are now bringing this well onto pump.
As with the Lois Anne #2-1 and as we saw with the ASE #3 well after it was fracked, this well needs to go onto pump to draw down the gas, which is the main driver for the oil. We look forward to providing further updates once both wells are officially in production.
We want to knowledge that there have been delays with the SWD. Please note, we have been doinf our very best to expedite the approval process. We met with our operator this week and have been advised, on good authority, that approval should be received within the next 30 to 40 days.
We also met with our geologist, John Dowds, who has now selected the next drilling location, the Lois Anne #5-1. We have additionally marked a location for the #6-1.
We are very excited to bring the current wells into production, to maximise oil and gas output, and to finish drilling the final two wells within our 10-well portfolio. We sincerely appreciate your ongoing patience and look forward to sharing further updates in the coming weeks.
Best regards,
