Samson Oil & Gas to Drill a Bakken Formation Well in North Dakota and Pride International, Inc. to Host Analyst Meeting
Oil and Gas Exploration industry news provided by Financial News USA (OTC: FNWU). Samson Oil & Gas (AMEX: SSN) currently produces around 100 BOPD (gross) from a horizontal well placed in the Bluell Formation of the North Harstad oil field which is located in the central part of the Williston Basin. This well has been on production for 15 months and has demonstrated the productive capacity of this formation such that development wells adjacent to this location are being planned as part of Samson’s effort to enlarge its oil production profile to take advantage of the exceptional oil price that is currently in effect. In addition to this Bluell activity Samson has received a proposal from the operator of the field to drill a Bakken Formation well. This well is proposed to be drilled to a vertical depth of 11,335 feet, plugged back and then drilled horizontally for 4,800 feet in the middle Bakken zone. Read more
