Angus drills side-track to top of target reservoir

Angus Energy plc said that drilling of the SF07V side track well has reached the top of the target reservoir at Saltfleetby in East Lincolnshire. 

TESTING

“Drilling was paused at a total measured depth along hole of 2,492 metres (true vertical depth of 2,261 metres) which is 10 metres higher than anticipated,” said the company in a statement.

“The well bore will now be cased and cemented to this point before resuming drilling, largely horizontally, a further 500 metres into and through the most productive part of the reservoir. 

“This further work is expected to last around 14 days following which well clean-up and testing operations will commence.”
