The shale gas analysis, when incorporated with the core laboratory results, will provide a key insight into the gas prospectivity of the Bossier/Haynesville interval encountered.
Additionally, the shale gas analysis will also be used to design the flow test and the completion of the well.
The oil and gas firm expects to receive the results of the shale gas analysis in the near future.
Mainland Resources CEO Nick Atencio said that the company is pleased to be able to combine the core data with industry diagnostic tools to deliver a comprehensive look at the prospectivity of this promising Bossier/Haynesville interval and to compare these results with the positive gas indicators it encountered while drilling the well.
