CALGARY, March 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. ("Bellatrix"
or the "Company") (TSX, NYSE MKT: BXE) is pleased to announce the well
test results of its most recent long reach Fahler horizontal liquids
rich natural gas well.
At Ferrier, the Company drilled its first long reach Fahler horizontal
liquids rich natural gas well (100% working interest) to a total depth
of 5,205 meters with a horizontal length of 2,845 meters. The well was
fracture stimulated in 36 stages and tested at varying rates over a 6
day period from 10 mmcf/d to 30 mmcf/d of natural gas with an estimated
35 bbls of liquids per mmcf of natural gas. The final test rates were
30 mmcf/d of natural gas with an estimated 1,050 bbls/d of liquids at
2,250 psi flowing pressure. Bellatrix tied the well in and it was
placed on production in early March at an initial restricted rate of
20.4 mmcf/d of natural gas with an estimated 714 bbls/d of liquids at a
flowing pressure of 2,380 psi.
