The operation will be performed in four stages consecutively, during which the fracturing fluid and proppant will be placed in each of the four sand reservoir pay zones that have been previously logged in the well.

If the fracture stimulation is successful, all four sand pay zones will be brought into production simultaneously.

The company expects the fracture stimulation to increase hydrocarbon flow rates and recoveries from the well as the well is currently producing under natural pressure from 11ft out of a total pay across the four sand pay zones of around 130ft.
