[{"type":"text","content":"Bengal Announces Completion of 2019 Cuisinier Drilling CampaignCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 4, 2019) - Bengal Energy Ltd. (TSX: BNG) (\"Bengal\" or the \"Company\") today announces the results of its 2019 drilling campaign that commenced in February 2019 and consisted of four development wells and one appraisal well within the Cuisinier Production License 303 (\"PL 303') on Authority to Prospect 752, Barta Block (Bengal's working interest is 30.357%).Development Drilling:Two of the four development wells, Cuisinier 29 and Cuisinier 30 were located on the northwest side of the Cuisinier pool close to production infrastructure and were designed to extend the producing area while potentially increasing the pool reserves area. The Cuisinier 29 well was successfully drilled, cased and suspended in late February and discovered a new oil pool in the DC-50 sand that lies below the target DC-70 zone. The DC-50 sand is approximately 12.5 metres thick with an estimated 6.9 metres of internally estimated net oil pay and exhibits virgin reservoir pressure. In addition, the well intersected approximately 1.1 metres of internally estimated net oil pay in the target zone DC-70 sand, which also shows virgin pressure. The well has been cased and suspended as a future oil producer. The Cuisinier 27 and 28 development wells were located in the heart of the Cuisinier pool offsetting the planned waterflood pilot. Both these wells met pre-drill expectations encountering 4.1 and 4.6 metres of internally estimated net oil pay respectively. These wells have been cased and suspended as Murta DC-70 oil wells.The fourth development well, Cuisinier 30, encountered 7.2 metres of net Murta DC-70 sand however the zone was low and water bearing. This well was therefore plugged and abandoned. Despite being located proximal to the producing Cuisinier oil field, the well location was outside the 1P reserves area as established by GLJ as of March 31, 2018.Appraisal Drilling:The Cuisinier 26 appraisal well was drilled in the southernmost part of PL 303 and was intended to extend the known producing sand fairway present in the core of the pool. The well encountered 0.8 metres of internally estimated net oil pay in the Murta DC-70 and was plugged and abandoned as uneconomic.In calendar Q2 2019, the three successful wells will be connected for production an...
