Business Wire
Sentry Petroleum Ltd (SPLM:OTCBB), (“Sentry” or the “Company”),
a U.S. energy company with oil, gas and coal seam gas rights in
Queensland, Australia is pleased to provide the following update on
the results from testing of Talundilly-CSG1 and Albilbah-CSG1 wells
that were recently drilled in Queensland Australia.
The Company has now completed most of the laboratory analyses
following the drilling of Taludilly-CSG1 and Albilbah-CSG1 and
confirms that gas was encountered in each well.
Albilbah-CSG1
During the drilling of the Albilbah-CSG1 well, the top portion
of the Lower Winton Sandstone (LWSS) was cored to investigate the
presence of gas. The Company drilled into the top 33 feet of the
250 feet gross sand column and secured core samples before drilling
had to be terminated due to severe hole conditions which could have
resulted in the loss of the drill string. The cores containing
organic material, were found to contain gas and were placed into
canisters to measure the gas emitting from the cores. Evidence of
gas in the canisters prompted the re-evaluation of the original
Albilbah-1 (drilled by a previous operator) well logs to
investigate the possibility of gas being present in the pore space
of the LWSS. Sentry’s log analysis concluded that gas is present in
a net 115 feet of the 250 feet interval. Further drilling and
testing is required in order to make any determination as to
whether the amount of gas present can be economically produced.
With gas obtained and analyzed from these cores, the Company is
reasonably optimistic about the potential for free gas to be
present in the sandstone. Gas production rates from sandstones are
generally higher than production rates normally expected from coal
or shale deposits and the sandstone can be produced without
requiring fracture stimulation, leading to better economics.
Another well specifically targeting the LWSS is needed to determine
the commerciality of the interval. Sentry has already located areas
that are structurally higher than the Albilbah location and the
next well planned to be drilled will target these gas sands and
flow testing will be performed to determine the interval’s
producibility. Gas recovered is being analyzed to identify its
origin and the results are expect in approximately four weeks.
Sentry has forwarded samples for routine core analysis for core
porosity, permeability and residual saturation measurements. This
is proving to be difficult because of the brittle nature of the
sands preventing the acquiring of core plugs for permeability and
porosity measurements. Barring any further difficulties, the
company anticipates that this work will be completed in four
weeks.
It should be noted that based on the logs the Company believes
the best reservoir quality of the LWSS is below the cored interval
and that the same sand is also present in the Talundilly-1 well.
This interval was not cored in Talundilly-CSG1 as it was not part
of the objective for the well.
Talundilly-CSG1
The Company commissioned independent laboratories to conduct a
thorough analysis of the core samples taken from Talundilly-CSG1. A
number of analyses - including gas desorption, isotherm, proximate,
and gas composition - have been completed. During the course of the
drilling and subsequent laboratory analysis certain anomalous data
were encountered which makes any firm quantitative conclusions
related to the results currently unreliable. A six to eight well
appraisal program is required to secure reliable data which will
enable management to make reasonable quantitative conclusions.
Additional wells will also assess the possibility of gas resource
in the Lower Winton and Macunda Sandstones in the Talundilly
area.
Cautionary note
The Company cautions that no determination has been made as to
whether these wells are capable of commercial production and there
can be no assurance that the amount of gas determined to exist will
be in quantities that are economically viable. The Company’s
exploration rights are evidenced by the following permits: ATP 862,
ATP 864, ATP 865 and ATP 866. In order to maintain these permits in
good standing, the Company must complete certain work obligations
prior to March 1, 2012. The Company requires significant additional
funding to complete the remaining work obligations and advises that
all future exploration work is contingent on securing sufficient
financing and that there can be no guarantee that the Company will
be able to secure the required funds. If the Company is not able to
secure sufficient funds to complete their work obligations by March
1, 2012, the Company could be forced to relinquish their permits
resulting in the failure of the business. The Company is
negotiating with the local government agency in an attempt to
extend the term of the permits, but there is no assurance that it
will be successful in extending the term.
