HOUSTON, Oct. 23 – Petrolia, Quebec City, Que., set production casing to TD of 1,200 m at the Haldimand-2 confirmation well in Quebec’s Gaspe region.
The well cut a 474-m zone of mainly sandstone saturated with light crude oil. Two intervals show the presence of a high concentration of parallel, subvertical open fractures that seem to be fed by matrix porosity, the company said.
Haldimand-2 topped the Devonian York River formation 686 m, 171 m higher than in the Haldimand-1 discovery well. It entered the zone of interest 40 m deeper. That zone consists mainly of massive sandstone beds at least 474 m thick before correction for dip. At TD the wellbore had not reached the bottom of this sandstone formation.
Four drillstem tests were run, three of which yielded oil and associated gas, and examination of the logs and test results indicate that the 474 m of mainly sandstone lithology in the zone of interest are saturated with oil.
Results show low permeability with gas at 715-763 m, low permeability at 1,099-1,131 m, and at 910-944 m and 849-833 m heavy fracturing with gas to surface and oil-cut mud.
