According to the company, the well offsets the highly successful 2008-3-5 oil and natural gas discovery well drilled in 2009.
The original 2008-3-5 well has produced over 155,000 barrels of oil and 16.5 million cubic feet of gas from a single pay zone since completion in May of 2009, and continues to produce at a stabilized rate of over 100 barrels of oil per day.
Drilling of the 2008-3-5A well targeted a number of additional upper pay zones identified during the 2009 program.
Brinx said electric logs recently conducted on the new well have reconfirmed previous estimates that the upper pay zones could contain over 180,000 additional barrels of oil to be recovered.
