(TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) is pleased to announce that drilling of the horizontal section of the Kyalla 117 N2-1H appraisal well in the Beetaloo Sub-Basin, Australia has commenced, along with the advancement of the vertical well evaluation. **Drilling of the Kyalla 117 N2-1H horizontal well has commenced** ![](https://www.share-talk.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Image-2019-12-10-at-8.47.45-AM-1-255x300.png) - The JV has elected to land the horizontal well within the Lower Kyalla shale, at a depth of ~1800mTVD. - The horizontal section will be drilled for approximately 1,000-2,000 metres. - On completion of drilling, the horizontal section will be fracture stimulated and production tested. **Evaluation of the Kyalla 117 N2-1 vertical well advances** - Three source rock reservoir (“SRR”) sections are identified within the Kyalla Shale Formation, characterised as the Lower, Middle and Upper Kyalla. - The thickness of the entire Kyalla Shale Formation measured almost 900 metres. - Gross thickness of each SRR interval is between 75 and 125 metres. - Each SRR exhibited elevated gas shows with relatively high C3, C4 and C5 components. - Diagnostic fracture injection tests (“DFITs”) were performed on each SRR. ![](https://www.share-talk.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Image-2019-12-10-at-8.46.21-AM-300x294.png) Ongoing analysis of conventional cores acquired in each of the Upper and Lower Kyalla reservoir sections, along with sidewall cores, DFITs and extensive wireline logging, will enable a full-scale evaluation of prospectivity of the Kyalla Formation in the central part of the Beetaloo Sub-Basin. **Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon commented:** “Ongoing evaluation of the of the Kyalla 117 N2-1 vertical appraisal well is very encouraging. The drilling of a 1,000-2,000 metre horizontal well in the Lower Kyalla shale has started and we will continue to update the market as soon as more results become available”.   --- **Original URL:** https://www.share-talk.com/falcon-oil-gas-ltd-lonfog-kyalla-117-n2-1-horizonal-drilling-commenced/ *Created by [WP Markdown Endpoint](https://wpmarkdownendpoint.com/)*
