Eros Resources Corp. together with its project partner and operator, Westcore Energy Ltd. provided an update concerning the commissioning of the three oil wells completed and brought on production in the third quarter at the Flaxcombe heavy oil field located 30 kilometres west of Kindersley, Saskatchewan. The 6-13 well was completed on August 27, 2017 and has been on production for over 47 days, showing an average production rate over the first thirty days (IP-30) of 16.7 barrels per day (15 barrels to Eros).

The well was shut-in for 10 days to be reloaded and primed and has been in continuous operation for the past two weeks at around the average IP-30 rate. The 1-13 well, completed on September 4, 2017, has been on production for 24 of the 49 days since. The well ran for eighteen days until it became sand-plugged and required reworking to flush the sand out.

That work was delayed by a combination of poor weather and the availability of equipment to clean the wellbore. Production results will be made available once the well completes its 30-day test production period. The 9-13 well continues to produce at a steady rate in line with the IP-30 test results announced on September 20, 2017, and has only required service for three of the 80 days since it was completed.
