Sugarloaf Hosston 1st phase a success
We have dug the well to 14,480 and logged the upper sections.
Well was trying to flow back gas during the logging operations.
The Austin Chalk zone from 11,925 to 12,200 looks very oil productive. The log results may set us up to drill over 100 wells in offsetting lease (26,000 acres) to just produce the oil from that zone. The porosity is just about double from what is normally found NE of our well location. Some folks have successfully produced with as low as 3% porosity. We have 9 to 12% porosity.

Missed a bit:
The Edwards is from 12,275 to 14,000 looks tight or too dense to produce.
The Sligo formation begans about 14,500
The Hosston (Objective) begans at 17,000 Planned total depth is 21,000.
This morning they are running 9 5/8 casing to 14,480
This was dated 29th Sept.

Hi Big Al, I am mesmerised by the commerical comment, it's blinding me from seeing the rest of the RNS.
My gut feeling is they know this will not flow, or why say it?
If it does flow, then good luck to those who hold.

sww - I agree. I suspect the formarion (secondary target) is well-known in the area and has probably been a producing zone for many years. Normally, you'd have a look at it as you passed, but it is very rare that you'd do anything other than log it when putting it behind 9 5/8". I have drilled in the general area of Sugarloaf. ;-0
The thing that catches my eye on the Adelphi site is that the shallow reservoirs were originally exploited in the 50s and 60s. Does anyone think there is a multi TCF field missed at the shallower levels? Doubtful IMO. Anyway, the following is lifeted directly from the website.
The Sugarloaf prospect is surrounded within a 25 km radius by several shallower oil and gas fields. Most of these fields were discovered in the 1950s and 60s and contain total reserves of some 5 trillion cubic feet (TCF) gas and 100 million barrels (mmbbls) oil. The fields are a combination of structural and stratigraphic play types predominantly in carbonate rocks at shallower levels than the Sugarloaf prospect.
I suspect the "carbonate rocks" are the Austin Chalk.
9 5/8" being set just above the top Sligo if Rutherford has some correct number. I see mention of growth fault, so suspect an imminent pressure ramp.

and i know f-all about drilling or anything else for that matter, but is till agree with both seagoon and al ..... EME is not a good bet ..... and if by some chance they do actually find something worthwhile, there will still be plenty of time to make or even lose money after the event

I think the company and the people whom work for then know a lot more about drilling for oil and gas than anyone who puts there 2p worth on the thread.
Why dont we just let the share price do the talking.

Personally, I haven't, but I have played EME to the short side in recent months, i.e. following the overall trend. Last year/earlier this year I was long.
The point is they have not had any good news for months and confidence in the management is quite rightly low. C'est la vie.
As for 2p................never say never in the investment game. ;-))

Interesting chart now. Been getting more bullish last week or two. I've no fundamental reason to buy obviously, but will watch this upturn. Downtrend appears broken. Hmm.

Empyrean Energy PLC
('Empyrean' or the 'Company'; Ticker: (EME))
Operations Update - Eagle North-1 in California, USA
AIM quoted Empyrean Energy Plc today announces the following update on the Eagle
North-1 well, San Joaquin Basin, California, USA.
Victoria Petroleum NL as operator for the Eagle North-1 horizontal well on the
Eagle Oil Pool Development Project in the San Joaquin Basin has advised that the
deep workover rig at the Eagle North-1 location has completed fishing operations
and is currently preparing the Eagle North-1 well bore for a future re-entry and
side track to drill, complete and test the lower Gatchell oil sand zone.
It is not considered cost effective to continue operations to retrieve the
production valve and tubing conveyed guns in the horizontal well bore. The joint
venture partners have decided that the money spent continuing the work over
would best be spent on a future re-entry and side track from the current cased
Eagle North-1 well bore.
Planning has commenced for this future operation with the exact timing of the
operation subject to the availability of the required deep drilling rig,
equipment and personel.
The target zone for the re-entry and side track will be the 177 metres (580
feet) of the lower Mary Bellocchi Gatchell oil sand in the horizontal well bore
over the interval from 4,209 - 4,386 metres (13,810 - 14,390 feet).
The lower Gatchell oil sands have produced at rates of up to 223 barrels of oil
per day and 0.7 million cubic feet of gas per day from the 12 metre (39 feet)
interval of lower Mary Bellocchi sand in the Mary Bellocchi-1 vertical well, 366
metres to the southeast.
A successful Eagle North-1 horizontal well and its subsequent production
performance in the longer term will provide an indication of the potential size
of the Eagle Oil Pool.
Empyrean's Commercial Director, Tom Kelly commented - 'The Eagle Oil Pool
remains a very attractive appraisal target as we know that oil is there - we
just need to flow test.'
The information contained in this announcement has been reviewed by the
Technical Director of Empyrean Energy Plc, Mr Frank Brophy BSc (Hons) who has
over 40 years experience as a petroleum geologist.
