Brookside said the drilling has already been completed at the Jewell well, which has been cased with production tubing to prepare it for the next development phase.
In a press statement, Brookside said: “The Jewell Well will be the first Company operated well to be drilled and completed in the Jewell DSU in the SWISH AOI.
“Importantly, this well is the first well in a potential five-year, 20-plus well development drilling program across the three operated DSU’s (Jewell, Flames, Rangers) that the company controls in the SWISH AOI to develop a conservatively estimated 11,606,000 net BOE prospective resource (best estimate, unrisked).”
