Terrace strikes pay again at its STS Olmos project
VANCOUVER, March 17, 2014 /CNW/ - Terrace Energy Corp. (the "Company") (TSXV: TZR, OTCQX: TCRRF; FRANKFURT: 2TR) is pleased to announce it has completed drilling operations on the first well of its 2014 development drilling program for its STS Olmos Project.
The first well, the STS 1-4H, was spud at the end of February and drilled to a measured depth of 13,420 feet, including 4,642 feet of horizontal section in the targeted Olmos "C" Sand. The target interval was encountered as planned and logging results indicate that the pay interval is entirely consistent with the previous eight wells drilled to date. This well is an offset to the highly successful initial discovery well for the project, the STS 1-667H, which has produced in excess of 125 thousand barrels of oil equivalent in approximately two years from its completion in February, 2012.
Based on the drilling results to date widely spaced across the project's approximate 20,000 gross acres, the Company estimates that there are approximately 140 gross drilling locations within the current leasehold position. The Company holds an approximate 27% working interest and 20.25% net revenue interest in the project. The Company and its partner, Black Brush Oil & Gas, LP, are planning to initiate a pad drilling program in the second quarter to drill twelve additional development wells during the calendar year.
The Company plans to install production facilities and gas pipeline connections prior to completing the well in order to minimize costs and time to market. Frac work will begin on the STS 1-4H as soon as such facilities are in place with first sales expected immediately after flow-back testing is completed. The Company plans to employ this same strategy to minimize costs and optimize time to market on all subsequent development wells in the project.
George Morris, the Company's Chief Operating Officer, stated "We are extremely pleased with the drilling results of the STS 1-4H. These drilling results are consistent with the geological model we have developed for the STS Olmos project and add further support to our conviction that the project comprises a large, repeatable inventory of low-risk, high value drilling locations."
