Announcement to ASX 31 August 2017 Significant Gas Shows Continue at Dempsey
  • Zones of significant gas shows continue to be drilled in Dempsey 1-15 well
  • Drilling ahead below 2,440 m (~8,000 feet) to evaluate multiple remaining conventional sandstone reservoir targets in next 750 m (~2,500 feet) of drilling
  • Dempsey is testing the largest undrilled structure in northeastern Sacramento Basin
Sacramento Basin-focused natural gas developer and producer, Sacgasco Limited (ASX: SGC) ("Sacgasco" or "the Company") advises that the Dempsey 1-15 well in the Sacramento Basin in California is drilling ahead in 8 1/2" vertical hole.

Since the last update mud logs have indicated additional zones of significant gas shows. These have occurred even though the drilling mud weight has been increased to control the levels of background gas for safe drilling.

Shareholders and investors are advised that the significance of these shows will become more apparent when the next wireline logs are run to more fully evaluate the intersected gas shows and reservoirs. This is planned after reaching the proposed total drilling depth of approximately 3,200 metres.

The Dempsey 1-15 well is currently drilling ahead below 2,440 m (~8,000 feet) to the highly under-explored deeper targeted reservoirs in the approximately 750 m (~2,500 feet) of remaining section to be drilled.

Dempsey is drilling the largest undrilled mapped structural closure in the northeastern part of the prolific Sacramento Gas Basin and is interpreted to be optimally located to trap gas migrating out of gas generating areas located to the west and south.

Gary Jeffery, Managing Director of Sacgasco commented:

"We continue to be very pleased with the execution of the drilling and the continuing gas shows seen in the Dempsey well.

I am aware that there is speculation about which potential reservoir targets have been drilled to date. I remind shareholders and investors that we are drilling potential reservoirs in an area of the Sacramento Basin that is very under-explored, and hence correlations of strata to seismic and other wells is neither definitive, nor material until the well is logged.

More importantly, as previously observed it continues to be encouraging that since drilling out of the 9 5/8" casing, all potential reservoir zones interpreted from mud logs have been associated with significant gas shows. While these extensive gas shows have slowed down the drilling rate as gas from each zone has to be circulated out to provide for safe drilling, I would call that a good problem to have to manage!

Further updates will be provided on meaningful results from the evaluation of the target sandstone reservoirs spread across the interval to be drilled."
