Pikka B objective was to tie down resource volumes in the field by drilling into and coring Nanushuk sands and well testing. Pikka C/C ST1 also drilled and flow tested at over 860 BOPD. Objectives of Pikka C were to reduce uncertainty regarding production characteristics by drilling into Nanushuk, evaluating reservoir characteristics, drilling a lateral, and then a flow test. Expecting front-end engineering and design commitment by mid-2019. First oil expected 2023. Great Bear Petroleum Pantheon acquired Great Bear Petroleum assets in January. Re-entered and flow tested Alkaid 1. Perforated and flow tested six-foot Brookian interval at 80-100 BOPD light oil (40-degree API). Also tested West Sak interval and encountered brackish water.
