The well was drilled to the seismically defined southeast edge of the Halfway reservoir in anticipation of a waterflood commencing as early as the first quarter of next year.
It encountered slightly more than 2m of high quality oil sand and will be completed initially as an oil producer.
Dejour reports that this well is expected to be placed on production prior to the end of October, at an initial rate of 300-400 barrels of oil per day (bopd), bringing the field oil production to more than 700 bopd and total field production to between 1100 and 1200 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day.
