Garcia #3 Well Completion Initial Update
DENVER, Oct. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Grid Petroleum Corp. (OTCBB: GRPR): The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Grid Petroleum has received a preliminary report of the initial flow testing of the Bardo Sand, the deepest potential pay zone of the Garcia #3 well.
Bardo Sand (3' Potential Gas Pay; 13' Potential Oil Pay): The top of this sand was encountered at 3520' drill depth in the "Garcia" #3 well where it is present in the form of 2 lobes. The top lobe is 10' thick and has very good Rwa log response. A core in the top of this zone at 3522' analyzed gas. A core at 3523' was transitional between gas and oil and the remaining cores in this lobe analyzed oil. The permeability's in this lobe analyzed between 51 and 115 millidarcies and the porosities ranged between 25.8%-27.8%. The second lobe is 6' thick and shows good Rwa response on the triple-combo log. Cores in this zone analyzed oil with permeability's ranging from 140-265 millidarcies and porosities from 28.8%-30%.
Work over unit was moved onto the Garcia #3, tubing was run to bottom ensuring total depth of well bore. The Rig then ran a Baker packer in the hole on 2 3/8 inch tubing, packer was set just above the top of the Bardo Sand zone.
Wireline services were then brought onto location to run a cement bond log, utilizing the Gama Ray tool to detect cement bonding on both the casing and outside formation, which proved to be in excellent condition.
Wireline services then ran into the hole through the 2 3/8 inch tubing a perforating gun to shoot the top 4 feet of the Bardo Sand, perforating the casing.
After Wireline services completed perforating the initial test zone, the work over rig began to swab the tubing to take the hydrostatic head off of the Bardo Sand formation to allow hydrocarbons to the surface. After the fifth swab run the well began to flow gas to the surface on its own. The gas flowing pressure grew to 200 PSI with a shut in pressure of 750 PSI.
The well will be allowed to flow to ensure that the gas has cleaned up any down hole drilling fluids before any performance flow testing can be completed.
The Company expects that flow results will be finalized in the near future. The completion process is near completion and the Company is awaiting confirmation of flow numbers from the Joint Venture Operator, Progas Services Inc.
