First Anticosti Well Finished Drilling
Halifax, Nova Scotia, July 7, 1998: Corridor Resources Inc. (CDH - ASE) announced today the Roliff #1 exploration well on Anticosti Island has encountered minor shows of natural gas but no commercial quantities of hydrocarbons. The well is the first of two wells to be drilled this summer as part of a four well farm-in by Shell Canada Limited and Encal Energy Ltd. on licences held by Corridor. Corridor is being carried for all exploration expenditures by the farm-in partners. Following the abandonment of the Roliff well this week, the drilling rig will be relocated to drill the Jupiter #1 well, positioned on the up-thrown side of the large Jupiter fault. The Jupiter well is expected to reach total depth by about the middle of August. Shell is the operator.
