Shelton Petroleum AB: Analyzes New Suyanovskoye Seismic Data

Shelton Petroleum has recently collected an additional 142 kilometres of seismic data to further delineate the three promising structures on the Suyanovskoye oil field. The objective is to identify future drilling locations. Results from the study will be announced to the markets later this year.

During 2014, Shelton Petroleum conducted a 95 kilometer seismic survey on the Suyanovskoye oil field in Bashkiria, Russia. Three promising structures with estimated recoverable resources of 47 million barrels of oil were discovered. Shelton Petroleum has recently completed the collection of another 142 kilometres of seismic on this field to confirm the resource estimations and to tighten the grid in order to delineate the structures and identify future drilling locations. The data is currently being processed and interpreted and Shelton Petroleum expects to receive and publish the results of the study including new structure maps later this year.

The leading Bashkirian oil company Bashneft produces oil due north of Suyanovskoye. Given future exploration success, the Suyanovskoye field may become equally if not more important to Shelton Petroleum than the producing Rustamovskoye field.

In addition, 57 kilometres of seismic have been collected on Aysky and the producing Rustamovskoye oil field in order to repeat the success of the previous drilling campaign where the latest #12 well encountered significantly thicker net pay and better flow rates than previous wells. Based on these results, the 2P oil reserves on this field increased from 1 to 23 million barrels in the recent reserves update published last autumn.
