Sentry Petroleum Finalizes Drilling Contract
Perth, Australia (May 16, 2011 - FSC) – Sentry Petroleum Ltd. (OTCBB:SPLM) announced today that it has finalized agreement with Depco Drilling Pty. Ltd. to provide a drilling rig and personnel for Sentry’s upcoming coal seam gas drilling program in ATP 862 and 864 in Queensland Australia. The specialist coal seam gas coring rig will be mobilized to the drill site in June, finalization of actual date will be announced in the next 10-14 days. Sentry’s Drilling and Operations Manager, Tim Green, commented “The rig we have secured is ideal for our drilling programme in Queensland and we are excited to be working with Depco and their highly experienced crews.”
Mr. Green continued, “The rig is fast and easy to mobilize and can drill multiple drill holes without too much additional cost. Mobilization costs alone for large oil and gas style rigs can be in the millions, significantly adding to the cost of each hole. The Rig 22 is mounted on its own truck which allows it to move around with little effort and minimum impact to the environment.
The rig is a UDR 1200 capable of drilling to 1,500 meters (4,900 feet) giving Sentry the comfort of deepening their prognosed well depths if required. It has drilled numerous such wells for the coal seam gas industry in Queensland and therefore has the capability and the experienced crews to undertake Sentry’s drilling program without limitation.”
