Blue Water Petroleum Corp. has completed drilling on the # 11-22 Tribal well in Big Horn County, Montana. The well was re- entered and deepened to a depth of 1,014' and completed as a water source well for the Blue Water Project. The water will be produced from the Madison Formation, and initial testing indicates the well is capable of producing 65 gallons per minute (65 gpm). The project is scheduled to produce shallow oil by injection of steam that will drive oil to surrounding production wells.
Earlier this year Blue Water Petroleum Corp's operating company received a UIC injection permit from the EPA Region 8 that allows for production of oil by steam injection. When production operations begin all produced water from the project will be re-purified and recycled. Locating a source of water at the Blue Water production site is a vital component of the Company's plan to produce oil by means of steam injection.
