This paper reports that Quebec is the site of key Cambro-Ordovician wildcatting and lower risk gas drilling. A group of companies is below 7,000 ft at 1 St. Simon, a wildcat in the St. Lawrence Lowlands basin projected to Cambrian Potsdam sand at about 13,800 ft. The drill site is on part of the ancient Cambro-Ordovician coastline from Newfoundland through Quebec and the eastern U.S. to West Texas. Bow Valley Industries Ltd. is operator of the well on a prospect assembled by Exploration Terrenex Ltd., Calgary. The companies say the area south of the St. Lawrence River is a depositional and structural look-alike to Wilburton deep field in the Arkoma basin of eastern Oklahoma, where the gas productive Ordovician carbonate is the Arbuckle.
