Corridor said it chose the O-59 drill site in large part due to the strong gas shows encountered in the G-59 horizontal section during drilling (OGJ Online, Dec. 6, 2010). It plans to drill O-59 to 2,800 m, run logs, and set casing in preparation for completion and testing in the second quarter of 2012, when equipment is expected to be in the area.
