Area: 360,033 acres
Start-up Year: -
In the Barta sub-block in the northern portion of Authority to Prospect 752P, the previously reported Cuisinier 2 and Cuisinier 3 wells have commenced production at rates consistent with expectations from earlier production tests. Over the month of September 2011 total production from Cuisinier 1, 2 and 3 increased to a total of 560 barrels of oil per producing day (net to Bengal 140 bbls). The wells produced for approximately 22 days during September 2011. Bengal\'s current total net production is approximately 650 bopd from Cuisinier, representing an 80% increase over the first quarter fiscal 2015 average production rate.
Tie-in options are currently being reviewed by the operator for the previously reported Barta North 1 well. This well was equipped as a Murta oil producer and sits approximately 4 km from the infrastructure associated with the Cuisinier 1, 2 and 3 wells. 3D seismic has been used to high grade areas of better sand development for appraisal drilling.
