Brookside Energy Limited: Jewell Well Flows 1,238 BOEPD
Exceeding Pre-Drill Estimates in Early Flow-back
Perth, Western Australia – 24 September 2021 – Brookside Energy Limited (ASX: BRK) (FSE: 8F3) (Brookside or the Company) is pleased to provide shareholders and investors with an update on operations on the high-impact Jewell 13-12-1S-3W SXH1 well (Jewell Well) located in Brookside’s SWISH Area of Interest (AOI) in the world-class Anadarko Basin (Figures 1 & 2).
The Jewell Well has recorded a daily production rate of 1,238 BOE (85% liquids) per day, early in the flow-back and fluid recovery operations, with only approximately 22% of the stimulation fluid recovered.
Oil and (liquids rich) gas production is expected to increase steadily beyond these early rates over the coming weeks (above our pre-drill estimates) in line with our modelled flow-back trajectory.
To date, the Jewell Well has produced approximately 14,800 barrels of oil and 29,500 Mcf of liquids rich gas, with oil trucked to a nearby pipeline terminal and gas transported via pipeline to a DCP Midstream, LP gas processing plant for sale.
The Company will report a peak rate (IP24), as well as IP30 and IP90 rates as these are achieved.
Commenting on the announcement, Brookside Managing Director, David Prentice said:
“Once again we are delighted to report on the early performance of the Jewell Well. These are extremely encouraging results, and to be exceeding our pre-drill estimated flow rates at this early stage of the flow-back process is a strong indicator of the future economic performance of our maiden operated well in the SWISH AOI.
“We are looking forward to bringing further updates on the wells performance as we move forward and achieve a peak rate and ultimately and IP30 and IP90, which are important milestones in terms of our key metrics or rate of return and time to payout.”
Background
Brookside is developing its “core of the core” acreage position in the SWISH AOI located in the highly sought-after Sycamore-Woodford trend in the southern SCOOP Play in the world-class Anadarko Basin. Brookside has embarked on a potential 5-year, 20-plus well development drilling program across its three operated development areas / DSUs (Jewell, Rangers, Flames) that the Company controls in the SWISH AOI to develop a conservatively estimated 11,606,000 net BOE Prospective Resource (best estimate, unrisked).
Prospective Resources Cautionary Statement
The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of future development projects relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.
ASX Listing Rule 5.30 – Further Information
The Jewell 13-12-1S-3W SXH1 Well was drilled in Carter County, Oklahoma and is located within the Jewell DSU (Brookside ~84% Working Interest). The Jewell Well was drilled as an extended (mid) length horizontal well with the lateral portion of the well-bore landed in the Sycamore Formation at a depth of ~7,600 feet. The well was treated via a multi-stage (23-stages) stimulation process with approximately 22% of the total stimulation fluids (~280,000 barrels) recovered so far during the flow-back operations. The well is being flowed back through an open choke to the Company’s production, separation, and tank facilities.

Development Unit or DSU |
Development Unit or drilling spacing unit is the geographical area in which an initial oil and/or gas well is drilled and produced from the geological formation listed in a spacing order. The spacing unit communitizes all interest owners for the purpose of sharing in production from oil and/or gas wells in the unit. A spacing order establishes the size of the unit; names the formations included in the unit; divides the ownership of the unit for the formations into the “royalty interest” and the “working interest”; Only one well can be drilled and completed in each common source of supply. Additional wells may be drilled in a Development Unit, but only after an Increased Density Order is issued by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. |
Force Pooled |
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission is authorized to establish well spacing and drilling units covering any common source of supply of hydrocarbons, or any prospective common source of supply. Once the unit is established, the Commission can force pool the interests of all the owners who own interests in that unit and who have not voluntarily joined in the development of that unit. |
