Urania No 6 Well to Be Reopened as Producer
Urania Petroleum plans to reenter Urania No 6 section 18 10 2E after a month closure. Water inflow will be cemented off using the McDonald method to keep salt water from entering the oil sand. After cementing for ten days, drilling resumes into the five foot oil sand and a strainer set, then a standard rig will be installed. This aims to prevent water mixing with oil, unlike nearby Zeigin well.
