Bengal将在Murta区展开生产作业

Bengal Energy Ltd. (TSX:BNG) is pleased to announce that the first four wells of the Cuisinier 2016 five well drilling campaign have been cased as future oil producers in the Murta horizon.

The most recent well, Shefu-1, was drilled as a near field exploration well situated on the western flank of the Cuisinier Petroleum Lease 303 (‘PL 303’), approximately 3.6 kilometers west of the nearest Cuisinier development well, Cuisinier-17. The Shefu-1 well encountered 8.1 meters of gross sand with 7 meters of net pay exhibiting normal gradient, virgin pressure. PL 303 is located with the Barta Permit, ATP 752.

At Shefu-1, oil pay was found to occur structurally lower than what has been encountered in previous rounds of appraisal drilling at Cuisinier, therefore lowering the ‘lowest known oil’ for the area. Bengal’s internal estimates suggest that this Shefu-1 result has the potential to materially increase the Cuisinier area oil in place and reserves, given that the Murta reservoir in the Shefu-1 area is well outside of Bengal’s currently booked 1P, 2P and 3P reserves areas.
