Linc stakes two Umiat well locations

Linc Energy Operations Inc. recently staked two well locations at the Umiat field.

The subsidiary of the Australian exploration company Linc Energy Ltd. staked the Umiat No. 24 and Umiat No. 25 oil exploration wells on Nov. 27, according to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the agency that oversees resource development of federal lands.

Linc staked both well locations on lease AA-81726, a federal lease along the Colville River, and the location of other well locations permitted for the Umiat exploration program. It is also where Linc drilled the Umiat No. 18 vertical well earlier this year.

Earlier this year, Linc announced plans for a one-to-two well program this winter at the oil field in the foothills of the Brooks Range Mountains. The company said it would drill the Umiat No. 23H horizontal, and, time permitting, the Umiat No. 24H horizontal.

A notice of staking shows where a company is interested in drilling on federal land, but the company must still get traditional permits before moving ahead on drilling plans.
