DUBLIN, IRELAND--(Marketwired - Sept. 29, 2016) - Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. ("Falcon" or the "Company" or the "Group")
(TSX VENTURE:FO)(AIM:FOG)(ESM:FAC) is pleased to provide the following technical update regarding the hydraulic
stimulation of the horizontal Amungee NW-1H well in the Beetaloo Basin, Australia.
Highlights of preliminary results from the Amungee NW-1H horizontal exploration well:
-- Completion of 11 hydraulic stimulation stages along the 1,000 meter
horizontal section in the Middle Velkerri B shale zone
-- Stimulation treatments were successfully executed, with 95% of
programmed proppant placed
-- Flow back of hydraulic fracture stimulation fluid to surface continues
-- Early stage gas flow rates through the 4.5" casing are encouraging
-- The rates regularly exceed 1 million standard cubic feet per day
("MMscf/d"), and consistently range between 0.4 - 0.6 MMscf/d
-- A workover rig is being mobilised to run production tubing and to
commence an extended production test
Philip O'Quigley CEO of Falcon commented on the results:
"Preliminary results of the first horizontal exploration well in the Beetaloo are very encouraging. The planned
testing programme utilising a production tubing string aims to evaluate the potential gas flow rate of the well.
We look forward to updating the market when further results become available."
