Results of Chopin-1 Well
San Leon has completed the drilling and evaluation its first
low-cost conventional exploration well in the Nida Concession in
southern Poland. The target of the well was a 3-way faulted
structure in the Cretaceous sandstones, a previously untested
carbonate buildup in the Jurassic, and potential reservoirs in the
underlying Jurassic section.
The well was successfully drilled to a total depth of 1,000m and
encountered several reservoirs in the underlying Jurassic with gas
shows and high quality reservoir sandstones with gas shows in the
Cretaceous. The company is now plugging the well as a dry hole at a
total estimated well cost of 700,000 Euros.
The Jas o DIR-700 rig is plugging the well and will immediately
move the rig to the Belvedere-1 location which is ready to receive
the rig. The Belvedere-1 well is targeting a four-way closure
within the Cretaceous and Jurassic horizons.
Oisin Fanning, Chairman of San Leon:
"Whilst this is a disappointing result for the Company, it
represents a very small part of the Company's portfolio and we
continue to believe that there is the potential to drive near term
cash flow from some of the smaller, shallower and low-cost
prospects in our inventory and look forward to spudding the
Belvedere-1 prospect very shortly.
This is an exciting time for San Leon; the Company has just
spudded the Lewino 1G2 well in the Gdansk-W concession in the
Baltic Basin in Poland, which is fully carried by Talisman Energy,
and has an active and fully-funded drilling programme for the
remainder of 2011 and 2012."
