Mr Bill Sanesh reports
The company (35% working interest overall and 45% first five wells of
the Williston Basin joint venture), has reported significant new results
from the initial interpretations of the company's 50 square mile 3D
survey program done over part of its 40,000 gross acres of mineral
rights holdings.
The first feature confirmed was drilled and an oil well resulted (Navasota
WJV Jan No. 1 completed in July 1997). Now the JV's chief
geophysicist reports that four more prospects (out of the more than 30
indicated by 2D seismic on which the JV holds mineral rights) are
confirmed by the new 3D seismic. One of these is worthy of especial
note because it appears significantly larger was logically expectable.
Expectations were for Red River zone prospects between 160 to 240
acres with hope that some might approach 300 acres. The company's
Linda prospect is interpreted to cover an area of more than 300 acres,
possibly as much as 1,000 acres of potential hydrocarbon trapping
area. It is most likely to be the next prospect tested by the drill.
Only one other feature with comparable size and shape geometry to the
Linda feature is known the area. The Bainville North field in Roosevelt
County, Montana, was discovered in 1979. (The company's exploration
team was in on that discovery.) The field has produced 1.1 million
barrels of 43 degrees API oil together with 730 million cubic ft of gas
from the Red River reservoir. (The same zone is the JV's principal
target) some wells encountered production in shallower zones (whose
geological counterparts exist in the WJV area) and these produced as
much oil as the principal zone. The field is still producing. Under
optimum reservoir management procedures it is expected to possibly
produce as much as 3 to 3.5 million barrels before abandonment.
Coordinates of the proposed Linda DRILLING location are not
announced at this time, The Williston joint venture is well represented by
leases that cover the main area of the Linda prospect but does not wish
to invite competition for fringe acreage.
Staking date of the joint venture's second well (Linda No. 1) will be a
minimum of four to six weeks. A rig with suitable capacity is being
sought after to permit drilling to begin as soon as possible thereafter.
