New Brunswick


Oil & Gas Journal

HOUSTON, Jan. 7 -- Contact Exploration Inc., Calgary, placed the N-78-2328 well at New Brunswick's Stoney Creek field on production at 30 b/d of oil at a drawdown estimated at 15% of near-virgin pressure.

The well, on which the first modern frac in the field was run on Dec. 9-10, 2008, was swabbed at rates as high as 200 b/d after the frac.

Contact, with 100% interest, drilled the well to TD 1,115 m through the Hiram Brook, Fredericks Brook, and Dawson Settlement formations. It ran fracs on two zones in Dawson Settlement.

The frac jobs transported 10 tonnes of sand each to the intervals at 878-899 m and 864-871 m.

Gas indications were recorded while drilling eight intervals in the Hiram Brook formation of the Upper Albert Group.
