Crosby Warren-2Y reaches TD
The Directors of Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, the production and
exploration company, are pleased to announce that the CW-2Y well at the Crosby
Warren Oilfield, North Lincolnshire (Europa 100%), has reached a final total
depth of 1,720 metres.
The well has been logged and several sandstone intervals within the upper part
of the Beacon Hills Flags Formation (BHF) are interpreted as being oil-bearing
between 1640 and 1676m. In total 5m of probable pay exists in the BHF, with a
possible further 3m in thin beds. CW-1 has produced over 650,000 bbls to date
from approximately 7m of pay in the BHF. The CW-2Y well will be completed with
a 4 ½" liner and prepared for production. Additional potential oil pay exists
in a 5 metre thick sandstone, equivalent to the Chatsworth Grit, at a depth of
1,600m which will be perforated and tested at a later date.
Paul Barrett, Managing Director, said "Delays due to equipment problems were
overcome late last week and the drilling completed successfully. We now look
forward to obtaining production from this well and will report on how the well
performs in due course."
