May 6, 2014 – Cub Energy Inc. (“Cub” or the “Company”)(TSX-V:KUB) a Black Sea region-focused upstream oil and gascompany, announces that the S7 zone in the Makeevskoye-17 (“M-17”) well testedgas at a rate of over 0.9 million cubic feet per day (“MMcf/d”) through a sevenmillimetre choke.
The M-17 well is operated by KUB-Gas LLC, apartially-owned subsidiary in which Cub has a 30% effective ownership interestthrough its 30% shareholding of KUBGAS Holdings Limited.
Makeevskoye-17 Well
In March 2014, Cub announced that wireline logs indicated9 metres of net gas pay in the S6, 2.5 metres of net pay in the S5 carbonates,and resource potential in the R30c and S7 sands. The Company has not producedthe S7 sand previously and thus Cub has no reserves for the zone. It wasbelieved that the M-17 well’s 5.5 metres of net pay in the S7 would requirestimulation to get a commercial flow rate from the zone.
Cub plans to perform a dual completion on the M-17 as aproducer in the S6 and S7 zones, with the S7 producing unstimulated. Currently,the Company’s snubbing unit, required for dual completions, is performingoperations on its O-4 well. The M-17 well will be suspended until the snubbingunit arrives on location. Once the subbing unit is on location,the Company willset a bridge plug above the S7, and will perforate and test the S6 zone, whichis 45 metres above the S7 and the primary target of the M-17 well.
The S7 discovery is still being considered forstimulation and remains in the Company’s fracture stimulation campaignscheduled for October this year.
Gas samples taken during testing indicate that the gashas a carbon dioxide (“CO2”) content of 8.8% and a heating value of 6,960kilocalories per cubic metre (“kcal/m3”).
While this is below the sales gas pipeline specificationof 7,600 kcal/m3 and 2% CO2, it can beblended with production from the Makeevskoye and Olgovskoye fields and theresulting blend will meet or exceed all pipeline requirements. The Company isconfident that the gas composition will not pose any material issues indevelopment.
The M-17 well was drilled to a total depth of 3,475metres to appraise the new pool gas discovery made in the S6 sandstone by theCompany’s Makeevskoye-16 (“M-16”) well,
which is currently producing at a rate of 3.9 MMcf/d (1.2MMcf/d net to Cub). The M-17 is located about one kilometre to the northwest ofthe M-16 well and within the same structural closure.
