Title: BP Canada expands deep B. C. gas play

Abstract

BP Canada Inc. has reported good progress with its deep gas exploration program in British Columbia. The company has an aggressive exploration program in the Monkman area of northeastern British Columbia. BP has drilled four wells in the area since its 1989 success with the West Sukunka c-1-c well, in which BP has a 75% working interest and NIM Petroleum Corp. has 25% (OGJ, Oct. 30, 1989, p. 82). An exploratory well, West Bullmose c-88-H, confirmed BP's structural interpretation of the area. The well flowed at the rate of 12.5 MMcfd of gas at 1,782 psi flowing wellhead pressure from a new Triassic reservoir. It is shut-in to test bottomhole pressure in order to determine reserves. BP and Ocelot Industries Ltd., Calgary, each have 50% working interest. The second well in the program, West Sukunka c-78- J, is 2 1/4 miles southeast of the c-1-c well. It flowed 44 MMcfd of gas with 2,415 psi flowing wellhead pressure and has been completed as an Upper Triassic Baldonnel gas well. Surface equipment capacity constrained the flow rate.
