Pulse Oil Prepping to Spud First Well of Queenstown Program; Talks EOR Ops
Pulse Oil Corp. reported an operational update.
Queenstown Drilling Program
Pulse intends to spud its first horizontal well targeting the Lithic Mannville Oil Fairway in Q4 of 2018.
Pulse has now secured surface access where construction will be initiated on a single multi-well pad, supporting the drilling of the Company’s first two horizontal wells. Importantly to Pulse, the flat farmland in the area, combined with planned drilling operations during winter freeze up, allows Pulse the potential to build inexpensive minimum disturbance sites.
Bigoray Enhanced Oil Recovery Project
Phase Two of the Bigoray Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Modelling Project is making good progress with Pulse having now completed the 3-D seismic reprocessing portion of the project, covering all of Pulse’s two Nisku Pinnacle Reefs. The Company has recently awarded Weatherford Canada Ltd. a sub-contract to conduct the Bigoray Fluid Sampling, Pressure-Volume-Temperature (“PVT”) analysis and miscibility testing program. In situ oil samples have now been taken from the Bigoray reservoirs and a miscibility study is underway providing important comparisons of potential solvent blends to optimize forecast EOR production.
