This was followed up with an announcement this morning that initial oil production rate on the JW Powell #23-25 well is 220 BOE/day. The well recorded a peak gas flow rate of 2.1 MMcf/day but this was choked back to allow for oil production.

Fremont Petroleum hits crude oil in Colorado well

Oil and gas junior Fremont Petroleum (ASX: FPL) has hit crude oil while drilling its Amerigo Vespucci #1 well in Colorado, United States.

The company today announced it has ‘tripped out’ (removed) all 199 joints of drill string that were used to drill the well to its total depth of 5,977 feet (1,822m) and found that 154 of the strings totalling 4,620ft (1408m) were “covered in crude oil”. More...

“Early indications are that the well has intersected a significant fracture network that is producing crude oil under pressure which is liberating into and up the wellbore,” Fremont stated.

This news follows Fremont’s announcement earlier this week that the well had encountered strong oil and gas shows throughout the bottom 1,000ft (305m) of the production section.
