Westgate Energy 确认将钻探两口油井，这是其 2024 年下半年钻探活动初期的一部分。这个夏季计划包括在公司位于艾伯塔省东部的核心 Killam 油田钻探两口水平多分支油井。

该项目的第一口井采用四腿裸眼水平设计，目标是曼维尔斯帕基地层。从开钻到钻机释放，这口井用了八天时间钻完，在斯帕基地层内钻了 5,056 米的水平段。随后，该井于 7 月 28 日通过租赁连接投入生产。接下来几周的生产是该井的清理期，因为要回收钻井液并优化泵送参数。

该项目的第二口井是六井段裸眼水平井，同样瞄准曼维尔斯帕基地层，钻井地点位于 Westgate 的 Killam 油田内的一个新平台。从开钻到钻机释放仅用了八天时间，在斯帕基地层钻探的水平段总长度为 5,140 米。

该井正在等待完井、装备和溶解气短管线连接，预计投产日期约为 8 月 15 日。预计投产后约 45 天内可观察到该井的生产能力。基于该井的成功结果，新平台的设计可容纳更多后续井。

Westgate Energy confirms the drilling of two wells as part of the initial portion of its second-half 2024 drilling campaign. This summer program consisted of two horizontal multi-lateral oil wells drilled at the company’s core Killam property in Eastern Alberta.

The program’s first well was drilled using a four-leg, open-hole horizontal design targeting the Mannville Sparky Formation. The well was drilled in eight days from spud to rig release, with a total of 5,056 m of lateral length drilled within the Sparky Formation. The well was subsequently brought on production 28 July via an on-lease tie-in. The coming weeks of production represent the clean up period for the well as drilling fluids are recovered and the pumping parameters optimized.

The program’s second well has been drilled as a six-leg, open-hole horizontal well, also targeting the Mannville Sparky Formation, and was drilled from a new pad within Westgate’s Killam Field. It was also drilled in eight days from spud to rig release, with a total of 5,140 m of lateral length drilled in the Sparky Formation.

This well is awaiting completion, equipping and a short pipeline tie-in for solution gas and is anticipated to have an on-stream date of approximately 15 August. The productive capabilities of this well are expected to be observed approximately 45 days from the on-stream date. Based on a successful result from the this well, the new pad has been designed to accommodate additional follow-up wells.
