By OGJ editors

HOUSTON, Jan. 13 -- Drilcorp Energy Ltd., Calgary, reported its Kakwa 06-31-62-03W6 well was placed on production Jan. 4 and during the first week of production averaged 1 MMcfd of sweet natural gas and 32 b/d of natural gas liquids.

Kakwa field, immediately west of Jayar field in western Alberta, is about 100 km south of Grand Prairie.

At Bulwark, near Alliance in central Alberta, operator Drilcorp contracted a service rig to recomplete two wells—01-29 and 16-20 in 38-12W4—for the production of Viking oil and gas. These wells offset the Bulwark Viking oil pool that Drilcorp resurrected and placed into production in November and December 2003.

Bulwark currently is producing 425 Mcfd of natural gas and 28 b/d of sweet, light crude oil.
