KENNEDY #1H - OPERATIONS UPDATE
Adelphi Energy Limited (Adelphi) is pleased to provide the following update on operations
at the Kennedy #1H well.
Adelphi has been advised by the Operator, Texas Crude Energy Inc (TCEI), that the isolation
plugs set as part of the fracture stimulation operations have been drilled out and the well
commenced unloading at 0100 hrs on Thursday, 28 January 2010 (USCST).
The initial production rate going to sales at 0700 hrs on Saturday 30, January (USCST) using a
22/64 choke was 4.39 mmscf/d gas and 1,132 bpd of condensate. The water production rate,
from the recovery of frac fluids, was 408 bwpd.
Whilst these initial rates are very encouraging, the following points should be noted:-
This is an initial production rate during clean up and is not yet indicative of a short or
long term production profile.
The well still has considerable fluids to recover from the fracture stimulation operations.
The well is flowing from approximately 2,200 ft of stimulated Eagle Ford Shale with the
remainder of the 4,000 ft horizontal liner isolated and not contributing.
The well is currently producing through the 7" production casing, with a production
tubing string to be installed in due course.
Adelphis Managing Director, Chris Hodge commented:
Whilst it is early days, these initial flow rates are extremely encouraging including the
expected high condensate ratio. We look forward to seeing how the well cleans up as well
as the imminent fracture stimulation of our Weston well. Together with the three new wells
being drilled as part of the farm-in program by Hilcorp across the Sugarloaf AMI, we expect
to obtain additional valuable production performance data in the very near term to further
prove up the commercial potential of our interests."
Adelphi will continue to advise the market on production rates as part of its regular updates
or as specifically required.
Adelphi currently (pre-farmout) has a 20% working interest in the Sugarloaf AMI including the
Kennedy #1well.
Other ASX listed participants in the Sugarloaf AMI, and their respective pre-farm-out working
interests are:
Aurora Oil and Gas Limited 20.0%
Eureka Energy Limited 12.5%
