Pétrolia inc. (TSX VENTURE:PEA) has confirmed the existence of a functional oil reservoir comprised of natural fractures on the Haldimand property. In fact, the production test on Haldimand 4 allowed the natural production, without artificial aid, of high quality oil (API 53). During this test, which started May 18th and which included periods of production and stoppage, the well produced nearly 1200 barrels of light oil without a pump.
This test also allowed the collection of important data on the permeability and porosity of the formation. In fact, following this test, it was noted that the formation is not very permeable and that it is in fact a system of mixed porosity.
Thus, in order to improve the productivity of the formation, Pétrolia and its partner Québénergie are working on developing a stimulation program that would allow for optimal production of the Haldimand reservoir. This program will be presented to the Gaspé citizens’ committee as well as representatives from the municipality.
