HOUSTON, Feb. 6 -- Wyn Developments Inc., Vancouver, BC, participated in a Mississippian Debolt gas discovery at Prophet River 75 miles south of Fort Nelson, BC.

The Prophet River d-60-E/94-G-15 exploratory well, operated by EnCana Corp., flowed gas at an initial unstabilized rate of up to 7.943 MMcfd from 4,440 ft. The wellsite is 11 miles northwest of Tommy Lakes Halfway gas field.

Pressures and gas returns, coupled with known seismic and geological data, suggest likely communication with wells drilled by other operators 5 km southeast and 24 km south, Wyn Developments said. Seismic data also suggest that the gas reservoir extends to the northwest.

The d-60-E well also encountered 75 ft of prospective pay in the Triassic Halfway formation at 1,870 ft. The gas shows, log analysis, and seismic data suggest that the Halfway formation extends northwest and also 7 km southeast to the c-97-D well that tested gas. Approximate TD is 8,530 ft.

The company sees the potential of seven more Mississippian and seven more Triassic Halfway development wells on 21 sq miles of Prophet River lands. Potential exists to dually produce from the zones.

If a summer development program is successful, production facilities could be in place in early 2008.
