Donnycreek Energy Inc. has detailed an operations update for its activities in the Wapiti area.
1-26 Wapiti Completion Operations
Completion operations on the Company's Wapiti 01-26-64-8 W6M horizontal middle Montney exploration well (75% WI) have been temporarily suspended following a successful hydraulic stimulation of 15 stages in the horizontal section of the well.
During the flow back clean up of the completion fluids used to stimulate the well, hydrogen sulphide in the reservoir natural gas of approximately 8% was measured exceeding concentration levels allowed under the current flaring permit requiring the 1-26 Well to be shut in. The Company will resume flow rate testing the 1-26 Well following regulatory approval to flare the reservoir natural gas, most likely following the spring break up period.
Donnycreek holds a 75% operated working interest in 328 gross (246 net) sections of Montney petroleum and natural gas rights at Wapiti.
