Journey Energy Inc. has updated its JV activity with Kiwetinohk Resources Corp. in the East Duvernay, including the encouraging test rates achieved by the first three wells.
East Duvernay Well Results
These production rates continue to be on the higher end of internal expectations. Both wells continue to be restricted. In particular the 15-31 well continues to flow at a very high tubing head pressure. Water cuts have declined steadily throughout the flow period with current water cuts of 37% at 15-31 and 42% at 16-15.

The horizontal lateral length in the Duvernay is approximately 3,056m. The well was completed over 47 intervals utilizing approximately 5,900 tons of sand and 560,000 bbls of load water. A brief clean up flow operation was conducted in early June. After milling out the plugs and installing production tubing, the final flow test began on June 21 at 7:00pm. Flow testing of the well continued until July 10, 2019 at 12:00 am. The results of this initial clean up and final flow test are presented below. The results show this well to be similar to the two currently producing commitment wells. Flow rates generally increased throughout the test as the choke sizes were gradually increased from 3.97mm to 8.73 mm. In addition, the water cut decreased to less than 50% throughout the test. The well produced little or no sand on the flow back.
