- Bruins Well stimulation completed safely, on time, within budget
- All 42 fracture stimulation stages executed as designed
- Production tubing installed, composite plugs drilled out
- Flow-back and testing preparations underway
- First sales targeted for Q2 2025
Completion of Stimulation Marks Key Operational Milestone
Brookside Energy Limited has announced the successful completion of stimulation operations on its Bruins Well, located in the SWISH Play within the southern SCOOP Play of the Anadarko Basin. This well represents the company’s ninth operated well in this prolific US oil and gas region. The stimulation process, involving 42 high-intensity fracture stages, was carried out safely, on schedule, and within the allocated budget, underscoring Brookside’s operational discipline and technical execution.
Technical Execution and Next Steps
The fracture stimulation targeted the Woodford Formation, a key producing horizon in the Anadarko Basin. Real-time monitoring confirmed that pressures, sand, and fluid volumes aligned closely with pre-completion designs, indicating effective reservoir stimulation. Following the stimulation, the composite plugs used for zonal isolation were successfully drilled out, and production tubing was installed, setting the stage for the next phase.
Preparations are now underway for flow-back and testing operations, critical steps to evaluate the well’s production potential and reservoir performance. Brookside remains on track to commence first sales of hydrocarbons from Bruins Well in the second quarter of 2025, a milestone that will begin to contribute to the company’s cash flow and validate the quality of its acreage in the SWISH Play.
Strategic Significance for Brookside
Managing Director David Prentice highlighted the importance of Bruins Well in Brookside’s broader development strategy. The well’s successful stimulation and imminent production are expected to reinforce investor confidence in the company’s asset base and operational capabilities. As Brookside continues to develop its portfolio in the mid-continent US region, the Bruins Well serves as a tangible step forward in unlocking value from its acreage.
While the announcement does not disclose specific production volumes or reserve estimates, the timely completion of stimulation and the planned flow-back phase suggest a disciplined approach to project execution. Investors will be keenly watching the upcoming flow-back and testing results for indications of the well’s commercial viability and potential impact on Brookside’s financial outlook.
Bottom Line?
With flow-back imminent and first sales on schedule, Bruins Well could soon prove a pivotal asset for Brookside’s growth trajectory.
Questions in the middle?
- What initial production rates will Bruins Well deliver during flow-back and testing?
- How will Bruins Well’s performance influence Brookside’s reserve estimates and valuation?
- What are the company’s plans for further development or drilling in the SWISH Play following Bruins?
