Sussex

The New Brunswick Energy Commission (NBEC) has recommended that the province increase its reliance on natural gas as it transitions away from the use of other fossil fuels for heating, electricity and transportation.

Corridor Resources Inc announced on Monday that flow testing of the McCully No. 2 well located northeast of Sussex, New Brunswick, Canada has been completed. The test resulted in a stabilized natural gas flow rate of 2.2 MMcf/d at a flowing tubing head pressure of 2,100 pounds per square inch (psi) following a three-day flow period. Corridor said initial analysis of the well’s production performance indicates that it is capable of flowing gas at a rate of 4.1 MMcf/d at the design separator pressure of 400 psi. The McCully No. 2 well is currently shut- in for pressure build-up analysis. The well’s development is under a 50/50 joint venture partnership with the Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc., with Corridor acting as the operator. Following completion of testing operations at the McCully No. 2 well, Corridor plans to workover, re-complete and re-test the McCully No. 1 well. The company said it also plans on completing the third McCully well by late May. Corridor is a junior oil and gas exploration company, headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with interests onshore in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Quebec and offshore in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
