Olympic 30 per cent interest in Wilson prospect Olympic Resources Ltd ORL Shares issued 11,519,376 Jul 4 close $0.44 Wed 5 Jul 2000 News Release Mr. Daryl Pollock reports Olympic Resources Ltd. has agreed to participate to the extent of a 30-per-cent working interest (15-per-cent net revenue interest) in a well presently being drilled on the Wilson prospect in Tehema county, Calif. The prospect is located in the East Rice Creek gas field. Target beds are the Cretaceous Forbes sands which are laterally discontinuous turbidites creating various types of traps. This is a low-risk play since the Wilson well is a simple direct competitive offset play some 250 feet south of the Royale "Victor Ranch" No. 1 to 20 well drilled and completed June 13, 2000, and currently producing two million cubic feet per day. Production is from a Forbes gas zone between 4,780 to 4,870 feet and another gas zone from 5,240 to 5,250 feet. The Royale well was drilled 145 feet from the Wilson prospect and their electric log has been released to the public. The log reveals they encountered arguably the best-looking gas sand of any well in the East Rice Creek field. The data reveals excellent correlation between the Royale 4,800-foot zone to the Wilson 4,800-foot zone with the Wilson zone in an up-dip location to the Royale well. The most likely scenario to explain why the Royale well was drilled so close to the Wilson lease line is the presence of an anomaly beginning on the south edge of their 3-D data set and brightened as it exited their data set to the south and up-dip onto the Wilson acreage. This well was spudded on July 3, 2000. |
