During the company's fourth quarter of 2014, Mobius commenced its Duvernay drilling program with the spudding of the Mobius Guy well located at 10-11-72-22W5M in Alberta. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the well was successfully drilled through the Duvernay formation and into the top of the Beaverhill Lake formation.
As previously disclosed, Mobius intends to perform a special core study to collect the information necessary to continue to derisk the play. Mobius expects that data and interpretations from the well and special core study will be received in a staged manner, but that full analysis will not be complete for up to two months.
Mobius is a top holder of Duvernay rights in Alberta, with a total of 61,120 acres of land in central Alberta, primarily in the Duvernay and Nordegg formations (56,640 semi-contiguous 100-per-cent-working-interest acres in the Duvernay light oil resource window).
