Sidewinder-1, drilled to a total depth of 1,601 m and encountered 14 meters net (22m crude) oil sand in the Mt Messenger Formation. Electric logs show excellent reservoir qualities with porosities of 22.5% and the average oil saturation of 60%.
?
We are very pleased to pay the oil beyond what we expected, these results also raise the likelihood of further discoveries and production capacity of approval broad side of a range? commented Garth Johnson, CEO of TAG Oil. â?
