The 06-26 and 05-26 wells have been drilled into the Middle Montney and Upper Montney intervals, respectively.
Blackbird owns and operates both the wells and its lands at Elmworth.
Drilled to a total measured depth of 4,734m including a horizontal lateral of 2,052m, the 06-26 well targeted the Middle Montney interval and flowed on cleanup, recovering approximately 21.7% of its load fluid.
The well is currently shut-in to enable the reservoir to absorb load fluids and gather further pressure data.
The company is planning for further testing following spring break-up to help evaluate the well’s potential.
The 05-26 well had targeted the Upper Montney interval and has been drilled to a total measured depth of 4,621m including a horizontal lateral of 1,951m.
The well flowed at a rate of approximately 466 boe/d with 67% liquids.
Blackbird Energy chairman, CEO and president Garth Braun said: "The slick water completion program that was implemented, may not demonstrate the highest short-term test rates prior to load recovery, but we believe will ultimately result in the highest rate of return and production over the life of the well.
"We are optimistic that further testing following break-up will allow for a more fulsome clean-up of the load fluid, and will ultimately demonstrate an increased presence of both condensate and liquids-rich gas, particularly given the over-pressured nature of the Middle and Upper Montney reservoirs discovered at our Elmworth project.
"Based on these results, it is our plan to continue forward with the aggressive delineation and development of our Elmworth project, beginning with the design and construction of a battery, which we anticipate will allow for tie-in by the first quarter of 2016."
