Potential Reservoir – Fractured Lime and dolomite mudstone/wackestone.

Dolomite mudstones with micro-sucrosic crystalline fabric may be very porous. When fractured this

facies becomes highly permeable and an excellent reservoir. Fractured breccia encountered in the

Doubloon Saxon #1 cores at various intervals demonstrates the likelihood that this facies offers

great reservoir potential in the region.

Results

– Similar facies (anhydrite/porous carbonates) tied at base of DS1 well.

– Higher density contrast suggest either carbonates are more porous or other fluids?

– Indications of anhydrite within Upper Aptian (shallow hypersaline facies?)

– Potential reservoir/seal facies appear laterally extensive

– Interpreted Late Albian mudstone seal, fractured carbonates immediately below.
