Brookside Energy Ltd (ASX:BRK) continues its oil and gas successes in Oklahoma’s Anadarko Basin with commercial production established in the Juanita Well.
Production at Juanita, in Brookside’s expanded Bradbury Area of Interest (AOI) within the Arbuckle Uplift–Ardmore Basin, has averaged 112 Barrels of Oil Per Day (BOPD) over the last five days as the well cleans up, with an initial peak rate of 130 BOPD.
This well has been brought on production after successful completion and comingling of two separate sands in the highly productive Simpson Group.
“Very encouraged”
Managing director David Prentice said: “We are very encouraged by these early results from the Juanita Well.
“With commercial production now established from these two zones, we are looking forward to gathering more data that will guide us in terms of next steps for this exciting new area of interest.
“This is another great result for the team and we are looking forward to providing further updates to our shareholders and investors on the Bradbury AOI.”

Managed fluid movement
Fluid movement is being managed by the size of the pumping unit to ensure optimum reservoir performance and maximum recovery as Brookside learns more about the capability of these two zones.
Production will be focused on the two zones initially, with testing of the remaining potential oil reservoirs targeted by the Juanita Well to occur in the future.
