(WO) “总部位于落基山的石油和天然气公司 Zephyr Energy plc 已收到州和联邦杂项通知批准，可修改与即将“获胜”的州 36-2 井重新钻探相关的钻井许可证。这些是该公司在美国犹他州 Paradox 盆地项目中开钻 State 36-2R 井所需的最终监管批准
Zephyr 现在将着手执行钻机合同，并将在合同授予后向市场通报 State 36-2R 井开钻的预计时间表。其他主要服务的招标过程也在进行中。
State 36-2R 井的主要目标是瞄准去年被 State 36-2 井成功穿过的 Cane Creek 储层天然裂缝网络。Zephyr 预计根据其为 State 36-2 井制定的井控保险政策，基本上可以收回 State 36-2R 井的全部钻井成本。
Zephyr 首席执行官 Colin Harrington 说道。“我们很高兴已经清除了 State 36-2R 井开钻的最终监管障碍，并期待接下来的步骤，包括执行钻机合同和动员现场作业。
“这是公司开展重大活动的时期，有可能为股东创造大量新价值，我们计划在未来几周和几个月内随着运营进展定期提供最新信息。”
(WO) – Rocky Mountain-based oil and gas company Zephyr Energy plc has received state and federal Sundry Notice approvals for the amendment of the drilling permit related to the forthcoming “twinned” redrill of the State 36-2 well. These are the final regulatory approvals required for the company to spud the State 36-2R well on its project in the Paradox basin, Utah, U.S.
Zephyr will now move to execute a drilling rig contract and will update the market on the expected timeline for the spud of the State 36-2R well upon award of the contract. Bid processes for other major services are also underway.
The State 36-2R well’s main objective is to target the same Cane Creek reservoir natural fracture network which was successfully intersected by the State 36-2 well last year. Zephyr expects to recover substantially all State 36-2R well drilling costs under the well control insurance policy that it has in place for the State 36-2 well.
Colin Harrington, Zephyr’s Chief Executive, said. “We are pleased to have cleared the final regulatory hurdles for the spud of the State 36-2R well and look forward to next steps, including the execution of a rig contract and mobilization of operations to the site.
“This is a time of significant activity for the company with the potential to generate substantial new value for shareholders, and we plan to provide regular updates over the coming weeks and months as operations progress.”
