Octagon 88 Resources Inc. announced that the Manning projects operator has confirmed that the first four days of production flow testing remains positive. The operator reports it has been running the pump at 100 RPM which is a third of the pump design rate. The well has been producing from the well bore, fluids including heavy black crude oil and lighter brown oil.

Gas production remains consistent and the AGAT lab results on the testing of gas samples confirms it is almost 100 % methane with no presence of H2S (hydrogen sulphide). In the near term the oil samples in the tank will be shipped out with samples going to AGAT for confirmation of the quality of the oil. Geologically Unique - Elkton Erosional Edge: 1.05 billion barrels PIIP (third-party validated).

Primary recovery of oil in the Elkton Erosional Edge with 8% to 14% recovery rate with staged and scalable 5,000 bbl/d to 10,000 bbl/d projects. To be followed up with infill drilling and then subsequent pressure maintenance with and additional 8+% recovery rate for an estimated cumulative 200 million barrels.
