Senetek
Announces Update on Texas Oil Project
HILTON
HEAD, S.C., Feb. 8, 2011 -- Senetek Plc (OTCBB-SNKTY) announced today an update
on its oil project in Dawson County, Texas in which the Company holds a 15%
working interest. In review, during the quarter ended September 30, 2010
drilling commenced on the initial test well (the Riggin #1). This well was
completed for production and achieved commercial production in November, 2010.
The well was completed in the Mississippian formation, which was the lowest of
the targeted production horizons, and after initial production rates in the
50-70 barrel per day ranges, has leveled off at a steady production rate of
approximately 30 barrels per day, with virtually no water cut.
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2010 drilling commenced on the second test well
(the McCarthy #1). The well commenced drilling during the first week of January,
2011, and achieved a total depth of 10,500 feet. The well was logged and several
zones including the Upper Spraybury formation, the Pennsylvanian formation and
the Mississippian formation showed the presence of hydrocarbons. The
Mississipian formation in particular showed over 25 feet of pay with porosities
up to 14%. Completion of that zone is planned with flow rate tests on the well
scheduled for the week of February 14, 2011.
Howard
Crosby, President of Senetek remarked, "We are very excited about the results
from the logging of the McCarthy #1 well. With porosities over 25 feet ranging
from 9-14%, we are expecting this to be a very productive well from the
Mississippian horizon." Details of further development plans and results will be
available in forthcoming press releases as they become available.
