St-Simon
Saint-Simon area is covered by two permits having 57,126 acres and indicating a geology similar to the one of St-Flavien natural gas deposit, developed by Shell and SOQUIP (cumulative production of 5.7 bcf between 1980 and 1994). In 2005, JUNEX conducted a project with the objective of re-entering the Shell Saint-Simon #1 well drilled in 1969, in order to carry out productivity tests. These tests carried out in autumn 2005 indicate that the natural gas zone identified by Shell in 1969 was met from 2,519 meters in dolomitic limestones of the Black-River Group and that it could have a good potential. The presence of porosity was observed during the analysis of cuttings. Hydrothermal dolomites in the Trenton and Black-River Ordovician limestones superficially displayed south to Saint-Simon well were also identified recently. All technical data available have been analysed by JUNEX team during the last months and the company is now looking for partners in order to carry out seismic works and eventually drill one or two new wells on the structure.
