About this update from Centaurus Energy Inc.

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nTSXV Trading Symbol: MVN\n\n\nCALGARY, Sept. 30, 2013 /CNW/ - Madalena Energy Inc. (TSXV: MVN) (the\n \"Company\" or \"Madalena\") is pleased to announce the results of a 3 day\n production test of its most recent 100% working interest horizontal\n Ostracod oil well located at 1-32-55-7W5M in the Paddle River area of\n west-central Alberta.\n\n\nThe well reached a total depth of 3,250 metres, including a 1,380 metre\n horizontal trajectory. Completion operations included a 16-stage\n multi-frac program where a total of 4,800 barrels of water-based load\n fluid were pumped. The well was subsequently production tested for 3\n days during which time the well flowed continuously and recovered a\n total of 3,120 barrels of load fluid (representing 64% of the pumped\n volume). During the 3 day test, the well flowed at an average rate of\n 877 bbls/d of 30° API oil and 1.007 mmscf/d of natural gas for a total\n of 1,045 Boe/d (84% Oil).  The test rate over the last 24 hours was approximately 788 bbls/d of\n oil and 1.092 mmscf/d of natural gas (on a 3/4\" choke at a flowing\n wellhead pressure averaging 200 psi).  After accounting for shrinkage\n and NGLs recovery at the local production facility, the test rate over\n the final 24 hours would equate to approximately 957 boe/d (87% oil &\n NGLs).\n\n\nThis horizontal well is currently shut-in and operations to equip the\n well for production and tie-in the solution gas to existing Madalena\n facilities are underway. The Company anticipates that this horizontal\n well will be brought on-stream in October.\n\n\nMadalena has a large land base of over 150 net sections in the Greater\n Paddle River area of which the company controls approximately 60 net sections of land across the Ostracod oil trend and has a significant inventory of drill-ready horizontal locations for\n Ostracod development.\n\n\nWhile Madalena is very encouraged by the initial results from this\n horizontal well, the flowback information disclosed above should be\n considered preliminary and is not indicative of the well's long-term\n performance. Ongoing technical work and operational enhancements\n continue to improve the Company's understanding of the ultimate\n potential of its Ostracod oil play with further optimizations being\n made via the drilling and completions execution.\n\n\nAbout Ma...
