Linc starting preliminary work at Umiat

Linc Energy Inc. said it has installed conductor pipe and a cellar box for a disposal well at the Umiat oil field and said similar work is currently under way on an exploration well.

The local subsidiary of an Australian independent is planning a four to six well exploration program at the oil field in the foothills of the Brooks Range Mountains.

Linc has already received federal and state drilling permits for the Umiat DSP No. 1 Class II disposal well, and is waiting for permits for the Umiat No. 16, Umiat No. 18 and Umiat No. 23H wells. The company expects to begin drilling sometime in February.
