Zephyr has confirmed drilling operations at the State 36-2 LNW-CC-R well (‘the Well’) have been completed safely and successfully. The trajectory of the Well’s extended lateral section (the ‘lateral’) was drilled to a total depth of 15,288 feet (measured depth) as planned and correlated strongly with existing 3D seismic data. 97% of the lateral was drilled within the Cane Creek reservoir section, demonstrating ability to accurately steer within the reservoir across a structurally complex play. Encouragingly, elevated mud gas levels with notable peaks were evident throughout the drilling of the Cane Creek reservoir. Zephyr’s operations team is now preparing to run casing across the drilled section after which the Nabors rig will be demobilised from the site. It will then mobilise equipment for the completion and production testing of the reservoir zone. Results are expected to be announced by the end of March 2025.
