Operator says Dempsey 1-15 is drilling below 2,615m with more significant gas shows, about 580m from target depth, and is 9-10 days behind schedule. Farm-in funding caps are reached, so all partners including PCL (10%) now fund their share of costs. Significance awaits logs.
31 Aug 2017drilling progress report▲ Good
Dempsey 1-15 is drilling below 2,440m with further significant gas shows, about 750m from target depth. Operator cautions that which reservoir has been reached is not definitive until logging. No quantified result yet.

Logs confirm four gas-bearing sandstone zones between 1,000 and 1,560m in Dempsey 1-15, with 30-50 feet of net pay. Operator expects the gas could cover well costs. Intermediate casing set at about 1,760m. Deeper primary targets still to drill. PCL holds 10%.
