Pennant Energy Inc. confirmed that production tubing string has been installed in the Bigstone Hz 13-33-60-22w5 well in the Montney shale, bringing the final phase of well completion operations to a close.

The well is now ready for tie-in to the Donnybrook-operated Bigstone pipeline system.

Construction of the surface facilities and pipeline installation is anticipated to commence by early fall.

The average flow rate during the final 24-hours of flow back was 2.87 MMcf/d of gas and 510 b/d of condensate. Approximately 75% of the load fluid used during fracing operations has been recovered to date.

The 13-33 well was drilled to a total measured depth of 5,336 m (17,506 ft) and completed with a 20-stage frac.
