BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS, Dec. 10, 2014 /CNW/ - Petro-Victory Energy Corp./ ("Petro-Victory" or the "Company") (TSX-V: VRY)
The Lapacho x-1 well has reached TD at 4,543m in the Santa Rosa Formation, the primary pre-drill target, with 418m of the 600m target interval drilled. Hydrocarbon shows have been encountered throughout the gross formation thickness extending right to TD, with background gas of up to 20% and trip gas of up to 48% (C1-C5 gas present).
The full logging program was restricted due to difficult downhole conditions. However, from the logs obtained, Lapacho x-1 penetrated 54m of clean sandstones with individual sand bed thicknesses up to 10m, most of which appear to be hydrocarbon bearing. Additional sandstone, estimated from seismic to be approximately 30m+, may exist in the undrilled target interval section below current TD, which would result in a total thickness of more than 80m of Santa Rosa reservoir sandstone at this location.
This outcome is in line with pre-drill estimates under which the well was targeting a discreet fault block.
The rig is now progressing to open hole well testing operations and a multi-rate test is planned to commence in the next few days to determine fluid type, flow rates, pressures and permeability. Upon completion of the Santa Rosa test, the separate, shallow discovery in the upper Icla formation will be tested. An update with the initial results of the first test is planned in approximately 10 days.
The 2014 drilling campaign has drilled two wells which have demonstrated the presence of a new Paleozoic hydrocarbon province in the Pirity Basin of the Paraguayan Chaco. The Company is a non-operating partner in the two million acre Pirity Block.
"We are delighted to announce very positive indications from the Lapacho well, and in particular, the hydrocarbon shows from the target Santa Rosa formation. We look forward in the immediate term to flow testing the hydrocarbon bearing zones in the Santa Rosa formation as well as the shallower Icla formation and sharing results in the near future. Both liquid and gas are extremely valuable commodities in Paraguay which imports all its own energy requirements." (Richard F. Gonzalez, Petro-Victory Energy Corp., CEO and Chairman)
