Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. announced preliminary results of the Sawn Lake Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage Demonstration Project. For Phase 1 of the SAGD demonstration project, one SAGD well pair was drilled in the fourth quarter of 2013 to a depth of 650 meters and a horizontal length of 780 meters. After the construction of the SAGD facility for steam generation, water handling and oil treating was completed in 2014, steam injection commenced on May 21, 2014.

The objective of this initial pilot well pair was to establish that the SAGD process works in the Bluesky formation reservoir, and results to date support this.
