South Bay Resources Canada (operator) drilled the SBRES WEASEL 2-17-58-20 well on the Radway prospect near Radway, Alberta, to total depth of 1,628m, and based on electric logs, the well found an approximately 7m of apparent pay in the Mannville gas section.
The operator is in the process of installing casing and will begin completion and testing operations in the apparent gas sands.
The completion and testing activities are expected to take approximately two weeks and, if successful, permitting for a flow line to connect to South Bay’s gathering system should begin immediately thereafter.
Archer Petroleum CEO Claude Perrier said that the Radway prospect is a project Archer undertook according to the business strategy of combining lower risk primary targets with higher reward secondary targets within a single wellbore.
Archer has a 35% working interest in the well.
