The company is currently in day eight of an estimated thirty day program to complete the Tribal-Max 1-2817, which is intended to be drilled to an approximate total vertical depth of 6,000ft to test deeper targets that include the Exshaw Shale, Spanish/Three Forks, Lodgepole and Nisku formations.
Following the vertical downhole tests of the deeper targets, Arkanova intends to complete the horizontal leg of the Tribal-Max 1-2817 with Schlumberger’s PeriScope Technology.
Arkanova intends to initiate the horizontal leg at approximately 3,300ft and kick out roughly 2,000 to 3,000ft in the Lower Cut Bank Sand.
