High North Resources Ltd. announced that each of its first two Montney horizontal wells located at 9-2-76-21W5M and 16-2-76-21W5M continued to flow oil over a 21-day production test period, up the casing, with pressures of approximately 1,000 psi at well head. Combined sales production rates continued to exceed a daily average production of 350 barrels of oil per day during the period, with both wells being restricted by surface equipment limitations. Production from the 16-2 well was approximately 190 bbls/d while the 9-2 well produced approximately 160 bbls/d. Solution gas was flared after recovery of nominal amounts of condensate.

High North intends to continue to source and install the required surface equipment, including increased tankage to allow for higher production rates. A third Montney horizontal well located at 9-26-75-21W5M has commenced production testing and is also flowing oil up the casing with similar pressures at the wellhead. This well is still cleaning up, with approximately 30% of the frac water remaining to be recovered.
