Western Canadian company Prospera Energy resumed phase two development of its horizontal infill drilling program, according to a Nov. 9 press release.
The sixth horizontal well spudded Nov. 5 and the horizontal infill drilling transformation from vertical wells will continue through the winter into next year鈥檚 break up, the release stated.
The first five horizontal wells performed higher than the estimated type curve and the IP60鈥攁 rating based on protection from total dust鈥攅xceeded company expectations.
According to Prospera, current production is 1,100 boe/d, with 400 boe/d shut in to accommodate development and another 300 boe/d behind price on minor repairs and optimization.
The development of light oil slanted wells received permits and the lease has been constructed and expected to commence over the next few weeks, the release added. Prospera will continue phase two鈥檚 development program to increase production and achieve year-end targets.
In addition to the first closing of debt financing, the company received a 鈥渞obust response鈥� to the non- brokered private placement of debt financing up to $3 million. The financing is to accommodate joint-venture (JV) partner deficit and extend drilling.
Prospera鈥檚 JV partners are in receivables and in default payables until remedied, according to the release, so Prospera will assume 100% of production and revenue.
