News out, S/L1 (kunde3) casing being run, hopefully results this week?

From our Aussie jvp's, testing started yesterday(11th).

Not good news fro our Australian partners? Trouble at the deepest level,screen out? Kennady 1 Horizontal spudded, 45 days approx.

Sugarloaf Block B Project - Texas, USA
---------------------------------------

Kennedy #1H
-----------

Empyrean advises that the Kennedy #1H exploration well, located in the onshore
Gulf Coast Basin in Texas, USA, commenced drilling at 18:30 hours Texas time on
17 September 2007.

At report time (06:00 hours on 18 September 2007, Texas time) the well had
reached a depth of 565 feet in 17.5 inch diameter hole and was drilling ahead.

The proposed total depth of Kennedy#1H is 17,570 feet (5,360 metres) which
includes a horizontal section of approximately 5,000 feet (1,525 metres) to be
drilled through the Austin Chalk Formation at a vertical depth of approximately
12,000 feet. The zone to be targeted by this horizontal section is believed to
correlate with the producing section in the Sugarkane Field discovery well which
is located some 8 km to the west of Kennedy #1H.

On a trouble-free basis the prognosed drilling time for this well is about 45
days.

Sugarloaf-1 Well

Kennedy #1H is located some 1.6 km from the Sugarloaf-1 well where fraccing and
testing operations were commenced last week. Fracture stimulation of the deepest
of the three zones of gas shows and log interpreted potential gas pay in the
Cretaceous age Austin Chalk Formation was carried out on 11 September. The
fracture stimulation operation terminated early after a premature screen-out
halted pumping after only 6% of the planned proppant was placed in the
formation. The reason for the screen-out is not known.

Proppant in the well bore is presently being washed out by a work-over rig prior
to running tubing to test the zone. Some intermittent gas is being recovered
during this operation. The significance of the gas shows will not be known until
test operations are completed.

Further announcements will be made as results from this test become available.

The information contained in this announcement was completed and reviewed by the
Technical director of Empyrean Energy Plc, Mr Frank Brophy BSc (Hons) who has
over 40 years experience as a petroleum geologist.

The frac job has been a wee bit of a cockup then. ;-0

from the little i know about fraccing in Saudi, it is a run of the mill exercise ..... if EME use a similar procedure of HCL+gel or similar, who are the incompetent nitwits who screwed up and will EME have any recourse? - prob not!

Certainly seems to have been a waste of time and effort, cynic. 6% ain't gonna prop up much is it? ;-)))

No oil company has any recourse in this situation. At the end of the day, the operator was running the show and all decisions rest with them.

My reading of the situation is, while at 1st its not good they have not
abandoned the well so theirs still a chance of success,suggestions of the
cement squeeze falure?
And you have missed the positive news, spudding of the kennady1 horizontal,
which is targeting the S/Kane, with the info they have on this field unlikely they
would commit funds,unless they were more than a little confident?
Al, i find quite often the link does not work, so better to type manually as its
correct. For future ref.
cyril

cyril - they would never abandon and I wasn't wanting to imply that. The first test is basically screwed as regards maximising any flow. There are other horizons, but if they've knackered a cement squeeze then they will not be able to frac anything else until it's repaired, assuming the other horizons are dependent on it.

BTW, I don't find spudding a well positive news as such. It just means they're spending more dosh drilling and the law of averages states it could be dry as well as a gusher. ;-)))) In fact given EME's normal "average" I wouldn't be jumping up and down with joy!! LOL

Al thats terrible, EME have only 6% S/L1,(more in Kennady, but still a minor position) so hardly their call. EME's average according to oilbarrel is above the norm,but yoy are ignoring the whole picture, with several wells already
drilled a fair amount is known. So your really questioning the judgement of the
major COP,via Burlington.
cyril

COP?

Connocophillips the owners of Burlington.
cyril

Ah. Don't care who I question really. Even the best can screw it up. ;-))

PS - I've seen quite a few COP cockups over the years too. ;-)))

From a Bell Potter report.
The S/Kane field.
The S/Kane field is a trap of around 50kms by 20kms. Unlike the well known
Austin Chalks foelds, which produce from fractures in tight chalk,the S/Kane field has porous chalk,apparently as a resultof earily oil entrapment. The S/K vertical
discovery well is highlighted in the attachment and this well, owned by Cononco=
Phillips and Texas Crude, a private US company,has been producing gas and
condensate for the past year. The gas has exceptionally large condensate
content(more than 250 barrels per million cfg)so the oil (condensate) production
is worth more than the gas.

They simply just can't get things planned properly ahead, can they?

TCEI JV Block A-1 Well
----------------------

The operator has advised that the fracture stimulation and testing of the zones
of interest that produced multiple hydrocarbon shows and gas flares in the TCEI
JV Block A-1 Well, during drilling, may involve specialist monitoring and
interpretation techniques that require equipment to be placed in a nearby well
bore during the fracture stimulation operations. At this stage the operator
intends to use the TCEI JV Block A-2 Well, for this specific purpose. The
information gained from this analysis will assist the operator in determining
the efficacy of the fracture stimulation techniques and further help to
establish the best way to develop the reservoir. Fracture stimulation and
testing operations will therefore likely commence on the TCEI JV Block A-1 Well
following the completion of drilling the TCEI JV Block A-2 Well. It is not
expected that this will affect the potential prospects for the TCEI JV Block A-2
Well in any way. The whole process is designed to maximise potential
productivity by utilising the best modern day techniques available.


Sugarloaf-1 Well (Block B)
--------------------------

Since our last report of 19 September Texas Crude Energy Inc ('TCEI') advises
that frac sand (proppant) has been drilled and washed from the well bore.
Running of tubing for flow testing the first zone is expected to commence
shortly.


Kennedy #1H Well (Block B)
--------------------------

TCEI has also advised that that at 6am Texas time on 26 September, 2007 the
Kennedy #1H exploration well, located in the onshore Gulf Coast Basin in Texas,
USA was at a depth of 6,100' (1,860 metres) and installing blow out preventers,
before preparing to drill ahead, after having run and cemented casing
successfully. The proposed total depth for this well is 17,570 feet Measured
Depth.

Further updates will be provided following developments.

Al,
When it comes to EME, perhaps you should change your name to yogi or maybe even boo boo
