CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/30/17 -- Tanager Energy Inc. ("Tanager" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE: TAN) is pleased to announce the completion of drilling activities, logging and open hole testing of its Raptor A #1 well. Tanager confirms that its Raptor A #1 well has been drilled to a total measured depth of 3,800 feet and will now be completed. Data from electronic logs and sidewall cores indicates the presence of hydrocarbons in three separate zones, including a potential reservoir in the primary Yegua sandstone objective. A workover rig will be contracted to undertake completion and flow testing operations within the next few weeks. A further update will be made once testing operations have been completed.
Tom M. Crain, Jr., interim CEO of Tanager, stated, "I am extremely pleased to report that we have successfully concluded the drilling of our Raptor A #1 well and encountered promising log responses and open hole test results. The success of our initial well in Polk County, Texas validates the technical work we have undertaken to develop these prospects, and reinforces our belief that we can drill multiple wells in the Yegua sandstone quickly and economically. We remain extremely excited by the potential of our prospects, and we look forward to flow testing the Raptor A #1 well."
