The horizontal well was drilled into a new formation and cased with a slotted liner in 495 meters of horizontal pay. Completion and equipping operations will commence immediately and continue during spring break-up. The rig was released to an all-weather rack site as spring break-up conditions would not allow the rig to be moved to another drilling location.
Brad Nichol, President and CEO of Edge commented, “We are very pleased that the drilling of our first horizontal well in a new horizon has gone so smoothly and quickly. I must credit our operations and drilling team who utilized their many years of experience and planned this operation meticulously. With continuous oil shows throughout the 495 meters of horizontal leg, we are very keen to start producing this well. Given that break-up is almost upon us, we are taking the extra step of building a permanent road so that the well can produce without interruption throughout break-up.” Nichol added, “We anticipate that successful production testing will support several additional horizontal drilling locations, specifically targeting the new horizon. We certainly have the undeveloped land-base to support a large program and are eager to get started.”
The Company has a 100% working interest in 20 sections (12,800 acres) of land in Primate, Saskatchewan.

Barrel (“bbl”) of oil equivalent (“boe”) amounts may be misleading particularly if used in isolation. All boe conversions in this report are calculated using a conversion of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one equivalent barrel of oil (6 mcf=1 bbl) and is based on an energy conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the well head.
