Sonoro Energy Ltd. announced that it has commenced drilling the 11-30-32-23W3 well in Kerrobert, Saskatchewan. The vertical development well is currently being drilled to a planned total depth of approximately 900 metres. The well is targeting the Wascana channel sand, which has been extensively delineated in this area.

This is the same channel sand in which lies Baytex's Kerrobert field that is producing over 1,800 bbls/d and directly offsets three Baytex wells that have produced over 252,000 barrels of oil. The well presents a low-risk step-out location that can be immediately brought into production. Completion operations are expected to commence immediately after rig release with subsequent oil sales occurring shortly afterwards.

Sonoro is also in the process of preparing the second location, which would represent it's first multileg horizontal well and expects to license this well once surface land is acquired. The Company will make further announcements as appropriate.
