Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Calgary-based Triangle Petroleum Corp. reports that its Horton Bluff shale in the Windsor Block of Nova Scotia contains 69 trillion cu. ft. of original gas in place. The estimate covers approximately 40% of the area of Triangle's gross land-holdings in Windsor Block. Last year, the company drilled two vertical shale tests, one of which flowed at rates up to 60,000 cu. ft. of gas per day. The #2 Kennetcook, originally designed for geological data collection, demonstrates that gas can produce into a vertical wellbore. Triangle plans to conclude testing of the #2 Kennetcook and begin a multi-well drilling program.
