WorldWide Drilling Resource

18 MAY 2015 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® HDD Operation Commences in Quebec Adapted from Information by Junex, Inc. Junex Inc. has started drilling its Junex Galt number 4 horizontal well from its existing well number 4 vertical well- bore, toward the Galt number 3 well in Quebec, Canada’s Forillon Formation. Mr. Peter Dorrins, president and CEO of Junex said, “The Galt number 4 horizontal well is a first in two respects: not only is it the first horizontal well on our Galt Oil Property, but it is also the first horizontal oil exploration well ever to be drilled by industry anywhere east of Quebec City in the province of Quebec. With our long-standing partner in the Galt Oil Property, Mr. Bernard Lemaire, we are quite excited to be drilling this milestone well in the most advanced oil project in Quebec. We are proud that this well is being drilled with our own drilling rig staffed by our Quebec-resident employees.” With a resource potential of 330 mil- lion barrels, this project contains the largest combined discovered contingent oil resource and undiscovered prospec- tive oil resource potential established by independent evaluators so far on the Gaspé Peninsula. The initial production rate of 180 bar- rels of light oil per day recently achieved during a production test in the Junex Galt number 3 vertical well, demonstrated the potential of the Forillon reservoir on the Galt Oil Property. pretty good deal from a distributor if you took a full truckload shipped direct to you or the jobsite by the manufactur- er.
