Marksmen is the operator and holds a 75% working interest.
CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marksmen Energy Inc. (“Marksmen” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MAH) (OTCQB: MKSEF) announces the following:
Operational Update, Pickaway County, Ohio – Marksmen is pleased to announce that the Davis Holbrook #2 well (“DH2”) drilled in August of this year was equipped and put on production in mid-October. Marksmen is the operator and holds a 75% working interest. Production in the second half of October averaged 106 bbls per day. It is being produced from the lowest of two Cambrian Knox intervals. The upper interval will be perforated and put on production at a later date, once this interval is thoroughly evaluated. Marksmen is currently evaluating various technical parameters to ensure the well is produced using best oilfield practices to ensure the well is produced at a rate that is sustainable over time and optimizes the production over the life of the well. This well also validates the drilling at three or four additional offset locations.
For comparison, the DH1 well drilled in 2016, with initial production in the 80 bbls of oil per day range has produced over 65,000 barrels of oil and continues to produce at approximately 25 bbls of oil production per day. DH1 also has an upper interval that has not been perforated and put on production.
With the added production from the DH2 well, Marksmen’s funds generated from operations are expected to be sufficient to cover all operating and administrative costs plus it will also allow the Company to internally fund some of its capital projects.
Marty Shumway, VP of Operations of Marksmen in Ohio, states, “This well is better than expected and is potentially better than the DH1 well.”
Archie Nesbitt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Marksmen states, “The first production results from DH2 have exceeded our expectations and payout is expected to be achieved in less than three months. Marksmen looks forward to working with our partners on drilling the next offset well.”
