Samson Oil & Gas Limited says that fracture stimulation operations on the Sail and Anchor 4-13-14 well finished on September 11th with the placement of 2.5 million pounds of proppant over 22 stages in the 6,100 foot lateral that was drilled in the middle Bakken. There were no screen-outs and the fracture stimulation operation generally went as planned.

Flowback operations started three days later on September 14th. With the well choked back, the average oil rate seen over a 24 hour period was 1,375 BOPD with a maximum hourly rate of 1,768 BOPD. The short flowback period is finished and the well will be handed over to production. At this time there are no definitive plans to drill out the frac plugs which may be limiting production.
