Petro-Victory drills SJ-12 well to 3,180 m total depth

PETRO VICTORY ENERGY ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL SJ-12 WELL RESULTS

Petro-Victory Energy Corp. has released the results of 7-SJ-12DA-MA well (SJ-12) in the Sao Joao (SJ) field, Barreirinhas basin, Brazil. The results build on the company's previously announced commencement of drilling at SJ-12.

SJ-12 highlights:

  • The well encountered approximately 280 metres (m) (918 feet) of gross interval containing hydrocarbon-bearing sections identified on wireline logs throughout five different prospective zones of Bom Gosto-Arpoador formation;
  • The well encountered 72 net m (236 feet) of hydrocarbon pay (gas), verified by wireline logs, petrophysical work and supported by mud logging anomalies;
  • An additional 45 m (147 feet) of hydrocarbon (oil) shows were identified, in the shallower Barro Duro-Tutoia formation and in the Bom Gosto-Arpoador formation;
  • Additional testing program planned, with results to be announced separately

Commenting on the results, Richard F. Gonzalez, chief executive officer of Petro-Victory Energy, stated:

"The SJ-12 well significantly exceeds our expectations and marks a major milestone in the development of the Sao Joao field. We have confirmed a robust and active petroleum system, with clear stacked pay potential. These results validate our subsurface model and reinforce our confidence in the field's scale and long-term value creation."

SJ-12 drilling results and reservoir interpretation

The SJ-12 well was drilled to a total depth of 3,180 m measured depth, intersecting the Barro Duro-Tutoia and Bom Gosto-Arpoador formations. Based on integrated petrophysical interpretation and formation testing data, the company has identified five net pay zones in the Bom Gosto-Arpoador reflecting a stacked gas reservoir system, indicating 125 m of net reservoir with 72 m of net hydrocarbon pay across a gross interval of 280 m.

Wireline logging, pressure testing and fluid sampling

A comprehensive open-hole wireline evaluation program was completed, including resistivity, density, neutron and sonic logs, as well as RDT formation testing and mechanical sidewall coring tool (MSCT) sidewall cores:

  • 21 formation pretests confirmed pressure continuity and favourable mobility;
  • Gas samples recovered at measured depths of 2,682.4 m and 2,975.3 m;
  • Gas samples exhibit low density under downhole conditions, consistent with gas-phase hydrocarbons.

Operational execution

SJ-12 was drilled using a state-of-the-art rack-and-pinion hydraulic drilling unit with a 551,000-pound hook load. The well was completed safely and on program.

Following logging operations, four one-half-inch production casing was run and cemented, and the drilling rig was released.

Field context and development relevance

The identification of stacked reservoirs and pressure-connected intervals reinforces the technical basis of the Sao Joao gas development concept previously disclosed by Petro-Victory in connection with its strategic partnership with Eneva.

A well testing campaign is planned to further evaluate the SJ-12 well, with results to be announced separately.
