CALGARY,
May 7, 2014 /CNW/ - (TSX-V:
PFC) - PetroFrontier Corp. ("PetroFrontier") is very pleased to
announce that the second well in its 2014 Work Plan and Budget (the
"2014 WP&B") has now spud and drilling is underway. The
OzBeta-1 well is a vertical exploration well located in Exploration
Permit 127. This is the second of up to five vertical test wells to
be drilled as part of the 2014 WP&B. All wells will include an
extensive open hole evaluation program and up to three of the wells
will be cased for future hydraulic fracture stimulation and
production testing.
Prior to the spud of the OzBeta-1 well, Statoil
Australia Theta B.V., PetroFrontier's joint venture partner and the
operator of the 2014 WP&B, used the rig to successfully abandon
the Owen-3H well in accordance with Australian regulations. The
2014 WP&B is progressing on schedule and as approved by the
Joint Operating Committee.
Subsequent to drilling the OzBeta-1 well, the
rig will be moved to the third well location of the five well
program, OzGamma-1, located in Exploration Permit 103. Readers are
encouraged to review the current investor presentation online to
see both the well locations and seismic cross sections.
