HOUSTON, Dec. 14 – Parex Resources Inc., Calgary, and partner Primera Energy Resources Ltd. will deepen the Firecrown-1 well in southern onshore Trinidad to 10,500 ft from 8,701 ft measured depth in the first quarter of 2011 to fully penetrate the entire section indicated as prospective.
Meanwhile, a multizone test program is under way at the Snowcap -1 well, drilled to 8,600 ft measured depth.
Snowcap encountered potential hydrocarbon bearing sandstones and limestones at 7,940-8,035 ft, 8,090-8,135 ft, and 8,340-8,445 ft in several secondary Miocene Lower Herrera and Eocene zones. It found several hydrocarbon bearing sandstones in the primary Herrera zone at 4,580-4,610 ft, 4,650-60 ft, and 4,680-4,700 ft.
Firecrown-1 encountered hydrocarbon bearing sandstones with oil shows in the secondary Herrera at 6,600-7,220 ft and in the primary Herrera zone at 8,150-8,275 ft.
The C1 to C5 gas detector readings at both wells are indicative of gas wetness in both Herrera and Eocene zones, Primera Energy said. An estimate of net pay is still to be published.
