A step-out vertical well drilled for water disposal purposes at Tuscany Energy’s 100% working interest Macklin property encountered Dina oil pay, the company said in a news release.
The 7-33-39-28W3 well was drilled to 1,011 m (3,317 ft) as a potential Duperow water disposal well and was located to test a potential extension of the adjacent Dina oil field currently being developed by Tuscany. About 9 m (30 ft) of 33% porous sand was encountered in the Dina, with log characteristics identical to presently producing wells in the field, the release said. The well will be completed as a disposal well within the next month, enabling Tuscany to significantly increase its water handling capacity which will increase its oil production and allow the company to connect three currently shut-in wells.
The significance of the Dina oil pay in the new well is that it could establish up to 14 additional unbooked development locations for horizontal drilling in the Dina and expand the Macklin pool to the north, all on Tuscany controlled 100% working interest lands, the company said in the release.
In addition, Tuscany said it has completed its previously announced program, drilling five horizontal heavy oil wells. Three of the wells are on production and the final two will be placed on stream next week. The company will update the market with estimated flow rates on the wells when they have been adequately tested.
