Highlights:
Well, License and Drilling Permit Received: Trans Canada Gold Corp. has received the necessary well license to drill its second multilateral well targeting the General Petroleum (GP) Zone near Lloydminster, Alberta. This new well is based on successful similar wells in the GP oil formation.
Partnership and Well Details: The well, located on lands controlled by a strategic partnership led by Croverro Energy, with Trans Canada holding an 18.75% interest, is expected to access over 8000 meters of the GP oil reservoir. Surface preparations are underway, with lease construction scheduled for completion by August 10th, 2024, and drilling set to begin mid-August.
Expansion and Future Potential: Trans Canada Gold has acquired an additional 320-acre parcel from Canpar (CN Pension Fund), Freehold Royalties and Rife Resources, increasing their land holdings and allowing for the drilling of up to four more multilateral wells. The newly acquired lands, along with existing ones, offer significant oil resource potential in both the Sparky and GP producing zones. The total cost for drilling and equipping the new well, which includes the cost of drilling, casing, and installing production equipment, is estimated at $2.2 million, with Trans Canada's share being $412,500, for which the company is fully funded.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 6, 2024 / Trans Canada Gold Corp. (TSXV:TTG)(OTCQB:TTGXF) ("Trans Canada" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has now received the well license required to drill its second multilateral well targeting the General Petroleum (GP) Zone, situated near Lloydminster, Alberta. The lands for the well are currently controlled by a partnership led by Croverro, with the Company holding 18.75% interest. This second multilateral horizontal well is based on similar wells drilled in the GP oil formation using surrounding well control combined with recently processed seismic lines. The new multilateral well is expected to contact over 8000 m of GP oil reservoir. Surface preparations are now in progress, with lease construction expected to be completed by August 10th, 2024. The well is scheduled to be drilled in mid-August.
Drilling completion and equipping costs are expected to be $2.2 million for the well ($412,500 net to Trans Canada). The Company is fully funded for these operations. Croverro Energy Ltd., under the terms of the agreement, is the Operator.
The Company has acquired additional lands inside the AMI, which will allow the drilling of up to 4 additional multilateral wells. The 320-acre parcel offset our existing lands to the north were acquired from Canpar (CN Pension Fund), Freehold Royalties and Rife Resources. The newly acquired lands, together combined with our existing lands, have the oil resource potential in both the Sparky and General Petroleum (GP) producing zones.
Commented Tim Coupland, "We are excited to be drilling our second multilateral oil well with a reliable and experienced partner who has consistently targeted and successfully drilled, completed and started production several wells targeting different oil reservoirs. Croverro has proven to be a very competent operator providing low operating cost and consistent production days. We believe drilling multilateral horizontal wells with good well control and utilizing new computer modelling and seismic techniques will provide continued success. The partnership is allowing the Company to grow rapidly and prosper, as world oil prices continue to remain high."
"With the recent strategic land and lease acquisitions, together with well control and recently obtained and processed seismic data, the upcoming drill program in the General Petroleum Sand has been de-risked as much as possible. This well will further strengthen our strategic growth position with increased oil production and increased revenue. Multilateral wells offer the best potential for high initial production rates, modest decline rates, resulting in a more stable and sustained production level over time, which enhances our overall production growth strategy." commented Director Chris Timmins.
