| Asset: | Bayswater (Solimar 1.13% carried interest plus 0.50% royalty over part of acreage) | ||
| Location: | NW San Joaquin Basin, east and adjacent giant Kettleman Dome oil and gas field | ||
| Description: |
|
||
Technical: |
Huge acreage position, mostly prospective for sandstone and fractured oil shale targets down to +15,000 depth. Solimar is carried through two wells by TSX listed Zodiac Exploration (ZEX) the first of which the Zodiac 4-9, a vertical appraisal well, was drilled to 14,961 feet in March 2011. Zodiac announced up 1,000 feet of potential hydrocarbon pay in stacked sandstone and shale reservoirs. A lengthy testing program is being carried out in the 4-9 discovery well. A production test of a 30 ft interval in the Kreyenhagen Shale flowed 29 degree API oil at a stablised rate of 24 bopd. Zodiac spudded followup 1-10 horizontal well in June 2011. Solimar is participating in this well at its working interest level. |
