The well had previously tested at a peak rate of 418 barrels of 24\u1d52 API oil and produced ~20,000 barrels of oil from the ARF during a one-year production period before being suspended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The first stage of operations will involve conditioning the open-hole section of the well with a production liner, re-completing the ARF and conducting a Diagnostic Fracture Injection Test (DFIT) to provide information on the geo-mechanical properties and imaging the natural fracture network in the ARF reservoir. This will be followed with hydraulic fracture stimulation to improve permeability and productivity, flow-back and a production cycle to assess the potential of oil recovery from the ARF. Services and equipment for these operations are being secured, which TAG Oil has scheduled to be in place for operations to commence in mid-January 2023. The Company anticipates being able to provide well results in March 2023.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>First Horizontal Well<\/em><\/strong><strong>:\u00a0<\/strong>The data that is collected from BED 1-7 and incorporated into the modeling studies will help facilitate plans for drilling the first horizontal ARF well in BED-1.
