Raise Production Inc. provided an update regarding the next stage of field testing its horizontal wellbore production system. These operations were performed in the same wellbore as the previous prototype test System located in a Viking reservoir near Kindersley, Saskatchewan. The recent field operations included the successful retrieval of the two pump prototype System originally deployed in August of 2013 and the successful deployment of a new prototype System designed to closely resemble a commercial configuration with pumping units aligned across the entire length of the horizontal section of the test wellbore.

Raise is currently commissioning its start-up procedures for the new System. Following start-up, Raise and its oil & gas industry partner will operate a test period for this System which is anticipated to last at least 90 days and will provide no further commentary until the conclusion of the testing. This is the second of a graduated three deployment test program for the System.
