Sundance Announces Lease Acquisition Lashburn Area, Saskatchewan
16 November 2011 - 2:30PM
Marketwired
Sundance Energy Corporation ("Sundance" or the "Corporation") (TSX
VENTURE:SNY)(OTCQX:SNYXF) announces that it has entered into a
three year petroleum and natural gas lease agreement with Indian
Oil and Gas Canada on 320 gross and net acres lying within the
defined boundaries of the Lashburn West Sparky oilfield (the
"Lashburn Lands"). The Lashburn Lands are part of the Moosomin
First Nation Treaty Entitlement Reserve lands. The lease agreement
provides that Sundance will drill a minimum of one test well to a
contract depth of 550 meters subsurface or 5 meters into the GP
Formation, whichever is the lesser depth, in the first year of the
lease term and a minimum of one additional test well per year
thereafter during the primary term of the lease. Due to the close
proximity to producing oil wells the test wells will be classified
as development wells.
The Lashburn West Sparky oilfield is located in west central
Saskatchewan. The field was discovered in 1979 and currently is
comprised of 505 oil wells. The API gravity of the oil in the field
is 11.3 degrees and the average primary oil production per well is
approximately 60,000 barrels.
Sundance further announces that the Redford/Cathkin re-entry
well resulted in the confirmation of a 14 meter oil pay thickness
in the McLaren Formation. The permeability of the formation was up
to 9 darcies, with porosity of up to 37%. Oil saturation from core
analysis was between 60% and 70% and the gravity of the oil was 7
degree API. As a result of the low gravity of the oil, Sundance is
currently evaluating the economics of conducting a SAGD heavy oil
project on its Redford/ Cathkin lands. The capital expenditure on
this re-entry well was minimal and has provided valuable data to
Sundance regarding the potential development of the project in the
future. The Redford/Cathkin project was one of the three properties
owned by Sentinel Rock Oil Inc. ("Sentinel") which was the company
that Sundance combined with in a reverse takeover in April 2011.
The other two properties owned by Sentinel were the Hoole Property,
which Sundance has put up for sale through the services of Sayer
Energy Advisors, and which has a bid expiry date of December 1,
2011 and the Poundmaker Property, which Sundance has farmed out to
an industry partner. (See News Release dated October 31, 2011.)
Jeff Standen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sundance,
comments: "Our Lashburn acquisition which is part of the Moosomin
First Nation Treaty Entitlement Reserve lands is consistent with
our operational focus of exploring for petroleum and natural gas on
First Nation Lands in Western Canada. We are pleased to have been
able to increase our land inventory with such a strategically
placed First Nation Property."
