7 Dec 2022drilling progress report● Neutral
Wolf Pack's curve has landed in the planned Sycamore bench at ~9,900 ft and the well is drilling the horizontal section at ~10,950 ft measured depth. Reported on schedule; routine progress, no flow results yet.
Wolf Pack's intermediate section has been drilled, cased and cemented, and drilling of the curve has begun. The well targets the Sycamore with ~7,500 ft lateral and ~17,750 ft planned measured depth. Routine progress, no results.
Wolf Pack's surface hole is drilled, cased and cemented, and the well is drilling the intermediate section at ~6,000 ft TVD. Reported on schedule; routine progress with no results yet.
The Rangers well has paid out seven months after first production, with drilling and completion costs recovered. It produced ~173,400 BOE (~83% oil and NGLs) and US$13.243m of revenue. This resolves the open payout thread, which had been forecast for late Q3 2022.
The Juanita well hit an over-pressured zone in the Springer Group at ~3,500 ft TVD, so drilling is suspended and the rig demobilised as it is unsuited. Oil shows were seen in the first of ten target zones. Restart is likely early in the New Year.
The Wolf Pack well, first of the Phase Two SWISH development wells, has spudded using Latshaw Rig 12 and is drilling the vertical section toward the first casing point. This follows the rig contract and pad work; operations are reported on schedule, with no results yet.
The Juanita well, the first in the new Bradbury area, has spudded with surface casing cemented and is drilling the straight hole at about 2,000 ft TVD toward ~6,450 ft. Operations are reported on schedule; no zone results yet.
November 2022 company presentation repeating known points: market cap ~A$60m, cash ~A$29.0m at 30 September, ~4,300 acres, 11,606,000 BOE prospective resource, three SWISH units held by production. Text is truncated, so no new detail is confirmed.

The Flames well, producing since early August, reached an IP24 of ~1,500 BOE/day (75% liquids), second highest Woodford rate in SWISH, and an IP30 of ~1,200 BOE/day. This resolves the pending Flames rates and is comparable to Rangers' IP30 of 1,200.
Pad construction has started for the Wolf Pack well, the first Phase Two SWISH well, with crews on site and work said to be on schedule. This is early site preparation ahead of the rig contracted for the early November spud.
