Grid Petroleum Corp. Receive Schlumberger Technical Report on Jonah Field Assets
LONDON - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Grid Petroleum Corp. (OTCBB:GRPR) can today announce the completion of a
technical report by a world leader in Oilfield Services, Schlumberger.
Schlumberger's report evaluates Grid Petroleum's SE Jonah Prospect in
Sublette County, Wyoming.
The report in its objectives of the evaluation set out to- review
existing seismic data over the prospect in order to make recommendations
on possible purchase; review available maps, wells and seismic data to
evaluate the and feasibility of the Prospect; undertake a data audit of
available public data; provide an evaluation of industry activity in and
around the Prospect; review production from surrounding fields in the
Lance formation to determine potential production rates; original
gas-in-place (OGIP) and estimated ultimate recoveries (EUR); assess
possible drilling locations based on geological, petrophysical and
engineering data and to provide recommendations for additional data
purchase and acquisition, including seismic.
Based on the available geological and engineering data, the report
states â"good possibility of productive hydrocarbons being encountered
in the prospect and the surrounding area."
The Schlumberger report continues advising a SW-NE aligned anticlinal
nose which plunges to the NE, and trends almost directly through the
middle of the Teakettle unit at the top of the Fort Union Coal Zone and
Lance Formations. The report continues-This feature is noted to be most
prominent in the Sublette Flat #1 well and Sagebrush Federal #3-8 well;
both located within the north-eastern part of the unit and on the (Grid
Petroleum) acreage. Additionally the report advises Gross sand in the
Lance Formation, which is the primary reservoir interval, exceeds 1,000
feet in (Grid Petroleums SE Jonah) Prospect and that a similar fluvial
environment of channel sandstones with interbedded floodplain shales,
which occurs at Jonah Field, is expected in the prospect.
Additionally Schlumberger's report recommends that additional seismic
data should be acquired over the SE Jonah Prospect allowing for more
subsurface control and better positioning of drilling locations.
In completing the evaluation the report cites a base case EUR estimate
of 292.4 Billion standard cubic feet (Bscf) and a high case estimate of
EUR 1280.8 Bscf. and has recommended the acquisition of additional
seismic data over the prospect to allow for greater subsurface control
and better positioning of drilling locations.
The OGIP and EUR on a "per well basis" were also calculated by varying
the gross sand thickness and recovery for the prospect and included low,
base and high cases (P10, P50, P90) by varying the net sand thickness
and recovery factor. The report continues advising- the values used for
the recovery factor were conservative as gas reservoirs with no or low
liquid production can commonly have recovery factors in excess of 80%.
Paul Watts, CEO of Grid Petroleum said: "We are delighted to have this
report in place from Schlumberger. As one of the most respected names in
the industry, this adds real credibility to what Grid aspire to explore
and prove. The upside potential which is approaching 1.3 TCF (Trillion
Cubic Feet) would be a major discovery to any oil company, and presents
an immense opportunity for our company.
