Dejour Enterprises Ltd. (Amex: DEJ, TSX-V: DEJ, D5R: Frankfurt) reports further updates on
its Piceance Basin and Peace River Arch E&P Projects.
Piceance Basin,
Colorado
North Barcus Creek
#1-12
Flow-testing and completion operations for the N. Barcus
Creek #1-12 discovery well located in Rio Blanco County are continuing. All frac fluids have now been recovered. Operator is assessing
additional work to ensure the optimum completion method for production from
these significant reservoirs. The time spent establishing the completion methodology
at the #1-12 well will assist in the completion program for the N. Barcus Creek
#2-12 well and all future wells bearing similar geology on this lease block. Flow
rates have continued to meet the operator’s expectations.
New Permits
Dejour and its partners at the N. Barcus Creek Prospect have
received permits to allow the drilling of 2 additional wells on this 1590 acre
lease block, where Dejour and its partners have drilled, cased, logged and
currently testing for production two wells, each yielding in excess of 250 feet
of net indicated gas pay.
Dejour holds a 25% unpromoted interest in these lands and
all exploration expenditures. Current
spacing unit approvals from the BLM allow for the drilling of an estimated 38
wells based on 40 acre spacing. In the
future, further down-spacing to 10 acre units is likely.
This N. Barcus Creek lease block lies directly between a
large Exxon lease block directly to the east and a large lease block owned by
EnCana to the west. The Exxon lands host
four recent natural gas resource discoveries drilled by Williams Cos.
immediately offsetting the Company’s leases.
Exxon previously announced its intention to drill 1000 wells on its
leases in that area. Recently,
Conoco-Philips announced its intention to commence drilling the first of 800
wells on the EnCana lands, which are now subject to a Conoco-Philips joint
venture, early in 2008.
N. Barcus Creek is one of three lease blocks totalling approximately 5010 acres within the ‘Rio Blanco
Deep’ project area.
Peace River Arch, Alberta/BC
In the Peace Arch Project in NW Alberta and
Evaluation of the 30% non-operated working interest Saddle
Hills discovery by the Operator is nearly complete with tie-in and further
development planned this season. Initial delivery is expected to be at least 1.5
million cubic feet per day from two zones in this well.
The Company is pleased to report that applications are in
place to drill four exploration wells by year end. Two of these wells target oil and two target
natural gas. In addition
three seismic programs are underway to evaluate three further potential
exploratory well locations. The company
has also purchased and interpreted 3D seismic in its initial 100% pre payout ownership
of this Drake area discovery to guide winter drilling of between three and
seven development wells to follow up on last winter’s discoveries. Additionally,
success at recent land sales has added 5230 acres of 100% working interest land,
increasing Dejour’s gross ownership to over 44000 acres in this active E&P
area, with an average net working interest of 44%.
