Royalite Petroleum Company Inc. Reports Initial Well Analysis
Royalite Petroleum Company Inc. (OTCBB: RYPE) has
completed logging on its first exploration well located in Piute Co., Utah
after drilling through Middle Jurassic sands above the targeted Lower
Jurassic Navajo formation. The Royalite State 16-1 well logs show
neutron-density crossover effects in several Middle Jurassic sandstones
indicating gas saturation. An analysis of the resistivity log shows
prospective zones with high deep resitivity indicative of potential
hydrocarbon formations. No cores or formation tests were made during the
initial phase of exploration drilling on the well. The Company will
continue to determine if any of the prospective sand intervals contain
commercial quantities of gas.
Royalite penetrated in excess of 500 ft. of a Lower Middle Jurassic
sandstone before suspending operations due to limited rig capacity. This
quartzitic, tight gas sandstone formation generally exhibited a low
porosity. However, the density-neutron log indicated crossover gas effect
covering 48 net (164 gross) feet in the contiguous sand. Density porosities
in the crossover intervals range from 4% to 19% with an average density
porosity of 9%. The Company divided the sands with crossover gas effect
into three sections and reported average density porosities of 9.5% (upper
22 net ft.), 11.3% (middle 6 net ft.) and 7.4% (lower 20 net ft.).
The indication of tight gas sands in the Royalite State 16-1 well increases
the potential for Royalite to discover gas in commercial quantities on its
large lease block in northern Piute County. "We are encouraged by the
initial results from our first exploratory well in this area since it is
generally recognized that hydrocarbons trapped in Jurassic intervals within
the Utah Hingeline have originated and migrated up faults from deeper
source rocks," stated Michael Cass, President of Royalite. The Company
believes the Lower Jurassic Navajo formation should exhibit superior
porosity and permeability as compared to the Middle Jurassic sands
penetrated to date and could provide more favorable reservoirs for
commercial production of hydrocarbons, especially natural gas.
Royalite is moving a rig, as soon as possible, to the Royalite State 16-1
that is capable of drilling 16,000 ft. through the Permian to test the
deeper Jurassic Navajo and Permian Kaibab formations. The Company will also
drill the Royalite Federal 27-1 that has been recently permitted to test
the Lower Jurassic Navajo formation. Royalite plans to acquire seismic
surveys in Piute and Iron counties in the fall of this year and begin
exploring other prospective core areas the Company currently has under
lease.
Royalite Petroleum Company Inc. is a publicly traded oil and gas
exploration company focused exclusively within the central Utah Hingeline
trend. The Company currently owns 100% working interest (87.5% NRI) in all
of its leasehold acreage and has approximately 70,000 acres under long term
leases in the central Utah Hingeline trend.
