Aggressive investors and traders may set their sights on Caliber Energy, Inc. (OTCBB:CALB) again this morning. Yesterday after the markets closed, the company issued a press release announcing that it is moving forward in making the necessary preparations for the spud of the first oil well at the Bolloque Project, Alberta, Canada.
This could be great news for investors! According to the company's press release, it and the operator of the project, Transaction Oil and Gas Ventures of Calgary have begun the well licensing, required permitting and have picked the well location. Site preparations will commence when the government road bans are lifted, anticipated to be shortly. Caliber is now locating a drilling rig for the project and expects to be drilling in 3 weeks.
Caliber has executed an Authority for Expenditure (A.F.E.) totaling $329,000 to drill, test and case the well. An additional $125,000 will be required to complete the well. Caliber is earning its 49% working interest by drilling, casing and completing an exploratory well on the leases.
Investors watch the progress of Caliber Energy! As earlier reported, the company commissioned a seismic review and interpretation on the Bolloque Project by an independent reservoir engineer and geophysicist that confirmed the presence of a Leduc Pinnacle Reef buildup under the Company leases. The seismic section shows a reef buildup of approximately 30 meters (98.5 feet). The reef has never been tested for oil at its highest development and Caliber will drill at this location to test for oil accumulation.
