The work over rig has arrived on site and commenced activities in order to finish the well and put it into commercial production.
The well was drilled to 3,820ft and the completion plan has begun to test and complete for immediate and future production of the three objective formations, which include 85ft in the Mississippi, 45ft in the Woodford Shale, and 4ft in the Simpson.
Once completed, NOS227 will become the third production well at the project in Payne County, Oklahoma.
It is expected that co-mingled Mississippi/Woodford production can result in 100bpd to 150bpd potential.
Electronic log data of the oil bearing formations underlying NOS227 indicates that the lower Simpson formation provides oil shows offering permeability and porosity and will be perforated and tested first.
Following that, the company plans to move up hole and acidize the Woodford, which appears to have better porosity characteristics than what was encountered at the previously drilled No 1 well.
As part of the completion of this formation, a light fracture stimulation of the Woodford is anticipated.
The company said that all three zones contain oil shows having the requisite permeability and porosity to produce oil in commercial quantities and the well has been cased to depth.
Production from NOS227 will be sold alongside output from the No 1 and NOJ26 wells to Sunoco, the regional purchaser.
