Brookside Energy Ltd (ASX:BRK, OTC:RDFEF) has completed drilling the intermediate section of the Fleury Well to a measured depth of ~7,825 feet in the southern SCOOP Play of Oklahoma’s Anadarko Basin.
Fleury is the third well to be drilled in Brookside’s multi-well Flames-Maroons Development Plan (FMDP), which is targeting the highly productive Sycamore and Woodford formations in the core of the southern SCOOP Play and the company advises that all operations are continuing safely, on budget and on time.
Intermediate casing
The intermediate casing, a string of steel casing set in place between the surface casing and the production casing, is now being run into the well and cemented in place.
This casing is used to isolate abnormally pressured or unstable formations so that drilling can proceed safely with normal mud weights to the horizontal or lateral section of the well and the target formations.
Once this is completed the casing will be drilled out and drilling of the Fleury Well curve will commence.
Of the first four wells in the FMDP, three are being drilled from the Sanford Pad - the Iginla, Maroons and Fleury wells.
Once these wells have been drilled and cased the drill rig will move to the Flames Well pad and drill the fourth well, the Rocket Well.
