Enhanced Oil Resources Inc. Provides April Operations Update
HOUSTON, TX, April 11, 2012 /CNW/ - Enhanced Oil Resources Inc. (TSX-V: EOR) is pleased to provide the following update regarding the Company's operations for April.
As previously reported, the Company's primary goals for 2012 are to add production and reserves through infill drilling at the Milnesand oil field, located in Chavez County, New Mexico, to evaluate the Chaveroo oil field for potential infill drilling and to further the planning and permitting of a 41 mile CO2 pipeline that is scheduled to connect Kinder Morgan's Cortez CO2 pipeline to our Milnesand and Chaveroo oil fields by September 2015.
Oil production volumes for March averaged 371 bopd, an increase of 6 bopd since February. The Crossroads 105 well continues to produce at 68 bopd since being reactivated in early February. Work continues on the Crossroads 106 well to convert the well to a second water injector. Additional injection capacity is required in order for the Company to add oil production in the field. We have reviewed several options to bring our 303 well back to production, including sidetracking the existing well, milling the obstruction and machining new tools to latch onto the stuck pump and have concluded that the machining of fit-for-purpose tools offers the best option at this stage. The tools will take approximately 4 weeks to make and once completed, the process to remove the obstruction will start.
At the Milnesand field, all wells required to be plugged and abandoned as part of our Agreed Compliance Order with the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division have been completed. Paperwork has been submitted to the relevant authorities and we expect to have all work completed by April 17th, as required. In regards to our upcoming drilling program at Milnesand, we have completed preparation of the drilling locations and well bore integrity evaluations for the initial three lateral infill wells and intend to commence drilling in late June.
At the Crossroads field we have contracted a 3-D seismic crew to acquire the first ever 3-D seismic survey at that field and expect to have that program completed by the end of 2nd quarter, 2012.
In Texas, we have completed workover operations on three wells and production has returned to approximately 30 bopd. Additional wells will be targeted for work-over this month. Results will be evaluated from these properties to determine if further activity is then warranted.
Following the recent sale of the St Johns field we are in the process of updating and amending our website to reflect the new focus for the Company. The revised website is expected to be on line within the next few weeks.
As previously reported, the Company will hold a conference call for shareholders and interested parties in April to outline the business plan for 2012. Once our year end 2011 reserve report and financials are completed and approved by the board we will hold our call. We will provide dial-in details once they are confirmed.
