Helix Exploration spuds Ollie 1 well at Rudyard field

Helix Exploration PLC has begun drilling the Ollie #1 well at its Rudyard field in Montana. The well is the fourth production well in the Northern Dome of the Rudyard field, following the completion of three existing wells: Darwin #1, Linda #1, and Weil #1. Ollie #1 targets the Souris River and Red River formations and is located approximately one mile north of Weil #1.

The well is expected to take around 21 days to drill, after which it will undergo wireline logging, extended flow testing, and gas analysis. Once approved, it will be connected to the existing gathering system at Weil #1 and the PSA Plant. Helix is also exploring additional well locations for future production expansion, while simultaneously planning to purchase and install a new membrane to increase the facility's throughput capacity.
