I'm a bit confused according to the article posted by SNOVF it says that that the cost is $150,000 to test, case, perforate and drill. Any thoughts? Also the driller is Fatih Drilling from what the article states.
Milford Colony Project, Lewis and Clark County, Montana:
Upon successfully achieving production on the McAfee Well, the company will re-mobilize their driller, Faith Drilling, to the Milford Colony 13-11 well. Last summer this well was permitted, site prepped and drilled / cased to 880 ft. The well located on the Alberta-Bakken Fairway in Lewis and Clark County.
The company has received a best estimate N.I. 51-101 compliant of 18 Bcf of prospective natural gas on this property at 2500 ft. in the pervasive Eagle Sands. Best and worst case scenarios on prospective gas are valued at $368,000,000 and $9,000,000 respectively. There is a pipeline adjacent to the property with excess capacity to potentially sell gas into. (THE MILLFORD COLONY PROSPECTIVE GAS RESOURCE MAY NOT BE DISCOVERED AND IF DISCOVERED THE RESOURCES MAY NOT BE ECONOMICAL.).
Based on discussions with the company's driller, it is estimated that the cost of drilling, casing, perforating and testing the Eagle formation in the partially completed Milford 13-11 well will cost approximately $150,000. The Company feels it will be able to fund this first well and possible subsequent wells in Montana with cash-flow produced from the McAfee project.
The company is still encouraged by the potential to test the Bakken formation for oil reservoirs below this shallow gas at roughly 8,800 feet.
