The stratigraphic test well reached target depth of 3,520 meters after penetrating more than 1,000 meters of Carboniferous section. More than 265 meters of continuous core were collected across three prospective intervals identified in the Siciny-1 well. A previously unseen fourth potential Carboniferous shale section and a fractured tight gas sandstone was also encountered below 3,200 meters in the well.
Tight rock analysis will be performed on the core to evaluate the potential for commercial shale gas and tight gas sand production. Valuable drilling data was also obtained in drilling the complex structure of the Carboniferous section, allowing the Company to reduce the time and cost of drilling future wells.
During drilling, continuous gas shows (C1-C3) were encountered across the four prospective shale intervals as well as through the tight sandstone interval. Evaluation and interpretation of the core and logs is expected to take 3-4 months in preparation for future production testing operations. The well was cased for further operations, which could include, pressure testing of the prospective zones (DFIT test) and also possible vertical fracture stimulation and production tests across several intervals.
The Company is focusing on analyzing the final technical results of the well in preparation for testing.
