The well struck 41m gross oil pay but only upper 15m of pay was perforated for this initial test.
Structurally, the Qishin Sands, which were the primary target zone, came in approximately 4m higher than expected and the pressure drawdown and build-up test indicated the well is capable of potentially producing at much higher rates.
Based on these initially positive results, the company has expedited the acquisition of a pump with higher capacity, which will be on location within several days for the resumption of testing.
Calvalley Petroleum is an oil and gas company based in Calgary, Alberta.
