ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / June 11, 2018 / PetroShare Corp. (OTCQB: PRHR) ("PetroShare" or the "Company") today provided an update on its operated and non-operated activities in the Wattenberg Field in the Denver Julesberg Basin in Colorado.
Operations Update
Frederick J. Witsell, President of PetroShare, commented, "Our participation in non-operated wells this year is contributing to production growth and we estimate that we will average between 900-1,200 BOED during the second quarter, which is up from the 680 BOED rate in the first quarter of 2018. We are currently completing the last of 14 wells on our operated Shook pad. Drill out and flow back of the initial wells on the pad is expected to begin in July. We experienced some delays in completion of the Shook wells due to weather and our service provider switching out to a second frack crew, which put us a few weeks behind our original timeline. We now expect the wells to achieve peak production during the third quarter of 2018. Offset operator results in the Todd Creek Farms area where the Shook wells are located have been encouraging, and if the Shook wells perform as expected, we estimate our production in the second half of 2018 will average between 2,800-3,100 BOED. Additionally, in collaboration with our partners, Providence Energy Operating and PEP III, we have executed acreage swaps and acquisitions with several other operators in our South Brighton asset area resulting in increased working interest in many of our operated drill site spacing units (DSUs). These activities have added nearly 750 acres net to our interest, representing a 33% increase in our footprint in South Brighton. We and our partners collectively now have a majority working interest in several of our DSUs and, in one unit specifically, own nearly a 99% working interest, which provides us with operational control of our leasehold enabling us to achieve greater capital efficiencies as we develop these assets. We believe we can further consolidate the working interest in our operated units going forward."
