Samson Oil & Gas Limited provides an operational advisory.

Following the completion of the Defender well, a rod pump was run but this pump failed when a lump of ashphaltene obstructed the pump inlet. The pump has now been replaced and is operating satisfactorily, producing fluid at a rate of 165 barrels per day. As expected, the produced fluid is completion brine, of which over 1,000 barrels were injected into the formation during the clean out operation.

The work-over rig has recovered a sufficient amount of the fish so that the Stage 2 and Stage 3 fracture stimulation jobs can now proceed. The well has been prepared with a bridge plug and packer such that Stage 2 can be pumped as soon as our pressure pump contractor is available, which is expected to be the week of September 3rd.
