Nexen, Quicksilver Tout Horn River Shale Success

摘要

Recent drilling results have reinforced the potential of the emerging shale gas play in the Horn River basin of northeastern British Columbia, say Nexen Inc. and Quicksilver Resources Inc. Nexen recently completed a three-well, horizontal drilling program, adding to two producing Horn River gas wells drilled earlier, while in a separate announcement, Quicksilver said it completed its first Horn River Basin well, which tested at 13 mmcf per day, averaging 10 mmcf per day in the first month of production.
