HOUSTON, Apr. 19 -- Corridor Resources Inc., Halifax, said it spudded the C-67 well in western McCully field in New Brunswick, which is estimated to contain more than 1 tcf of gas in place in the Hiram Brook member of the Albert formation in the Mississippian Horton Group.
Projected TD is 2,325 m to the base of the Hiram Brook. Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan, the landowner and gas purchaser, elected not to participate in the well.
The new drilling is part of an effort to eventually connect the field to the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline to New England after proving more reserves.
McCully's two producing wells have averaged more than 1 MMcfd of gas for 2 years. This "excellent performance" demonstrates the potential for the field to supply larger markets in New Brunswick and beyond, Corridor said.
