Drilling Activity Summary
Description
London-based UK Oil & Gas Investments announced initial results from an extended well test at #1-Horse Hill in PEDL137 in the Weald Basin in Sussex, U.K. The test flowed 36-degree-gravity oil and associated solution gas flowed via pump and natural flow to surface over a four-day period with no water. The highest hourly rate was 352 bbl per day with a maximum gas flow rate of 30 Mcf per day. According to the company, flow has not yet been optimized for maximum sustainable flow rates. Following a planned 24-hour pressure build-up test, the first of three planned Portland test sequences will be conducted. Testing of each of the Kimmeridge Limestone KL4 and KL3 oil pools will follow completion of the Portland test sequence.
