Gas Discovered in Turner Bayou Well
The fourth exploration well (Indigo Minerals 29 No. 1) in the Turner Bayou 3D seismic project reached a total depth of 4,600 feet over the weekend and was logged, resulting in the discovery of natural gas in the Frio sand interval. Production casing is currently being run.
“We are thrilled with this result,” said Justin Pettett, Pryme’s Managing Director. “Three out of the four wells drilled to date in this project have resulted in discoveries and this well has the best reservoir characteristics yet identified. The results confirm the predictions made by our team through interpretation of the location’s seismic attributes.”
Drilling will continue in the Turner Bayou project over the coming months and we are now planning for a gas gathering system to be built from the southern end of the survey. Building the gas gathering system is a priority for Pryme as it is integral to selling gas from the recently drilled wells in the northern portion of the project area.
Project Description
Pryme has a 52% interest (39% NRI) in the Turner Bayou project which is contained within approximately 80 square miles (50,000 acres) of proprietary 3D seismic. Primary targets consist of six prospective formations ranging in depth from the Frio, at a depth of 3,000 feet, to the Tuscaloosa at 16,000 feet. Executing the Turner Bayou Project has been an important objective since Pryme’s ASX listing; it has the potential to produce substantial value for shareholders.
