Brookside Energy has substantially completed production facilities at its Suttles pad in Oklahoma, setting the stage for Rig 18 to drill two wells targeting the Sycamore and Woodford formations in the Anadarko Basin.
- Production facilities at Suttles pad substantially complete
- Rig 18 to mobilise directly from active drilling program
- Two wells targeting Sycamore and Woodford formations
- Electrical and pipeline preparations advancing
- Supports Brookside’s multi-well development model in SWISH AOI
Production Facilities Near Completion at Suttles Pad
Brookside Energy Limited (ASX:BRK) has reached a key milestone with the substantial completion of surface production facilities at its Suttles pad within the SWISH Area of Interest (AOI) in Oklahoma’s Anadarko Basin. These facilities are designed to process and support first sales from the upcoming Sabres and Whalers wells, marking a critical step toward commercial production.
Rig 18 Mobilisation Set for Operational Continuity
Kenai Drilling’s Rig 18 is poised to move to the Suttles pad following the wrap-up of its current drilling program. Mobilising the rig directly from an active operation allows Brookside to maintain operational continuity, with the rig, crew, and systems already field-ready. This approach aims to smooth the transition from drilling to production, minimising downtime and supporting efficient execution.
Infrastructure and Pipeline Preparations Progressing
Alongside facility construction, Brookside has advanced electrical service arrangements with Oklahoma Gas & Electric and is working with its natural gas purchaser, Enerfin Gathering Company, on pipeline routing and permitting. These infrastructure elements are vital to ensure the pad is fully operational once drilling and completions are complete.
Two Wells Targeting Core Anadarko Formations
The upcoming two-well program will see the Sabres well target the Sycamore Formation, while the Whalers well will focus on the Woodford Formation. Both wells will feature approximately 1.5-mile lateral sections drilled from the Suttles pad, consistent with Brookside’s repeatable multi-well development strategy in the SWISH AOI. This approach is designed to grow production and build scale within a disciplined capital framework.
Sequenced Activity Supports Growth Ambitions
Managing Director and CEO David Prentice highlighted the strategic sequencing of construction and rig mobilisation activities, noting that the productive use of the pre-mobilisation period has positioned the company well for an efficient transition to drilling and production phases. Brookside’s focused execution in the Anadarko Basin continues to underpin its growth ambitions.
Bottom Line?
Brookside’s completion of key infrastructure and seamless rig mobilisation set the stage for operational progress, but market watchers will be keen to see initial production rates and sales timing as the wells come online.
Questions in the middle?
- How quickly will Rig 18 commence drilling after mobilisation?
- What initial production rates can be expected from the Sabres and Whalers wells?
- Will pipeline permitting and electrical service meet Brookside’s planned timelines?
