Given the positive result of this well, the Company expects an increase in its proven reserves. The Company hasn't previously booked any reserves for this acreage or any of the additional undrilled acreage on its Pine Mills oil field. The technical team is currently reviewing seismic data and logs to select the next two drilling locations. When the tank battery was built for the current well, two additional 400-barrel tanks were added to facilitate future production.
This area benefits from conventional clastic reservoirs which typically have shallow, predictable declines and long-life production profiles and reserves. Operationally the wells and completions are relatively simple, minimising well intervention costs and reducing opex to a level where we anticipate lifting costs of less than $10/bbl.
Further updates will follow regarding reserves and operations.
