Egdon confirmed in September that it no longer planned to use acidisation to improve oil flows (see DrillOrDrop report).
It still plans to use a proppant squeeze, where a slurry of gelled liquid and proppants is injected under press to ofractures in the surrounding rock formation.
The Environment Agency (EA) described the proposed operation at Wressle as “a small-scale hydraulic fracturing activity”. The process at Wressle, expected to inject 150m3 of slurry at 9,000psi, will need a hydraulic fracture plan, to be approved by the EA and the Oil & Gas Authority.
If the proppant squeeze is not successful, Egdon has said it will drill a sidetrack well.
Estimated gross oil production from Wressle is 500 barrels a day.
Union Jack announced today that executive director Joseph O’Farrell had bought 19.3m shares at 0.025p each and David Bramhill, executive chairman, has bought 19.4m shares at 0.129p each.
