Blackbird Energy Inc provides operations update

Blackbird Energy Inc. has provided an operational update regarding its drilling programme at Elmworth.

Drilling Programme

Blackbird has announced that it has successfully drilled, logged and cased it's third 100% working interest well at Elmworth, located at 2-20-70-7W6 (the 2-20 well).

The 2-20 well drill program included the drilling of a vertical pilot well from surface location 10-8-70-7W6 to a vertical depth of 2582 m. The vertical pilot well was then logged using state of the art logging technology, from surface to the bottom of the Lower Montney. Upon completion of logging operations, Blackbird drilled a horizontal leg of approximately 2000 m targeting the Middle Montney formation to downhole location 2-20-70-7W6. The total measured depth of the 2-20 well is 4660 m.

Drilling Performance

The 2-20 well was spud on 24 September 2015 and drilling operations were completed in 32 days from spud to rig release, including 8 days to drill and log the vertical pilot well. This represents a significant improvement in drilling efficiency and planned capital expenditure compared to Blackbird's 6-26 and 5-26 wells.

Completion Programme

Blackbird is planning to complete the 2-20 well using NCS sliding sleeve frac technology run on coiled tubing. The completion will consist of 71 individual foam fracs over the horizontal length of approximately 2000 m. Subsequent to completion operations, the 2-20 well will be production tested. The company expects to announce results from the 2-20 production test in January 2016.

Blackbird has also announced that Mr. Darrell Denney has resigned from the Company's board of directors.
