CALGARY, Aug. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Gravis Oil Corporation., (the "Company" or "Gravis"), (OTCBB:GRAVF) is pleased to provide an update on the newly drilled development pattern at its Grassy Creek Missouri heavy oil operations. As indicated in the press release dated July 25, 2011 management intends to periodically inform our shareholders about the Company's progress in the overall development of these large, existing heavy oil reserves.
Our field personnel have been injecting steam from our boiler facilities into the new pattern formation since May 3, 2011 and the Company has been observing measurable production responses since mid July, in the range of 2-5 barrels of oil per day (bopd). The heat profile has continued to grow in both the Blue Jacket and Warner sands, as both sands were completed in the test pattern. Gravis anticipates production should continue to increase for the overall test pattern, which consists of six producing wells, one injector well and two observation wells on approximately one-third of an acre.
All equipment and techniques developed in the tests conducted over the last six months have yielded impressive results in actual operations. Downhole pumps and surface equipment appear to have little or no wear since operations began in May, 2011. The new pattern is equipped with modern measurement equipment which allows Gravis to monitor real-time heat profiles in all observation and production wells including the injector well. The heat profile has been growing consistently and predictably for the entire steam cycle. Four additional patterns are in the planning stages and permits have been filed. While Gravis has been working on the new development pattern, the original producing Grassy Creek wells have maintained production at approximately 50 bopd while also reducing gas usage by 50 percent.
