MOUNTAINVIEW ENERGY LTD. ANNOUNCES PRODUCTION RATE FOR THE CHARLOTTE 1-12-1H OF 598 BOE/D FOR INITIAL 7 DAYS
Mountainview Energy Ltd. has provided an operational update on its 2013 drilling
program in Mountainview's 12 Gage project in the Williston basin.
Charlotte 1-12-1H, sections 1 and 12, T162-R101W, Divide county, North
Dakota
Mountainview is pleased to announce that it has placed the Charlotte
1-12-1H well on production with artificial lift. The Charlotte well, which is
the company's third Three Forks well of its summer three-well drilling
program, was completed using a 32-stage plug and perforation program.
The company's previous five operated wells were completed using
26 stages. According to field estimates, the initial seven-day average
production for the Charlotte well, which is still recovering frac load
water, was 598 barrels of oil equivalent per day gross (417 barrels of oil equivalent per day net), comprising 90 per cent oil. The
Charlotte well has produced for approximately 30 days averaging 550
barrels of oil equivalent per day gross (384 barrels of oil equivalent per day net), comprising 90 per cent oil. The Charlotte is
the third successive well to exceed initial production expectations and
is the company's highest producing well thus far.
Mountainview operational/production update
The company now has six wells from its 2013 drilling program in Divide
county, North Dakota, in its 12 Gage project on production, with a current
production rate of 1,652 barrels of oil equivalent per day gross (1,243 barrels of oil equivalent per day net). The company's total corporate production
is approximately 1,802 barrels of oil equivalent per day gross (1,393 barrels of oil equivalent per day net).
Management comments
Patrick Montalban, president and chief executive officer of Mountainview Energy, commented on
the completion of the drilling program: "In executing the 2013 summer
drilling program, the company achieved a 25-per-cent reduction in drilling and
completion costs and increased production levels by 30 per cent to 40 per cent, when
compared to the previous three well program. Work continues on
reducing monthly operating expenses by cutting workover and water
disposal costs leading to increased proved producing reserves and thus
value to the shareholder."
