DENVER, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Oil & Gas, Inc. provides the following operational update:
Fetter Project
Hageman 16-34HR well: The Hageman well has recently reached total depth in the targeted Frontier formation and the drilling rig has been removed from the well site. Sidetracking operations in the Frontier, undertaken to maximize the intersection of naturally occurring fracture systems, resulted in three horizontal laterals totaling over 5,200 cumulative feet of lateral well bore, all of which was drilled in zone and will be opened up for production. Completion activities are underway and after completion, the well is expected to be immediately placed on production.
Wallis 6-23 well: The Wallis well has recently been drilled to a total depth of 13,000 feet. The drilling rig has been removed from the well site and completion operations have commenced. The Wallis well is the first vertical well to be drilled by American and partners in the Fetter project and is designed to test multiple prospective formations utilizing multi-stage frac technology. To date, the well has been completed and fracture stimulated in the Dakota formation, the deepest formation of interest in the well. As planned, the Dakota has been temporarily isolated below a cast iron bridge plug allowing completion operations to move up hole. Additional formations, including the Frontier, are prospective in the well. Upon completion and preliminary evaluation of these formations, the Dakota and our other zones of interest will be commingled, tested, and placed on production.
