• Kenai Drilling Rig 18 contracted for upcoming Suttles pad program
• Rig to drill Sabres Well (Sycamore Formation) and Whalers Well (Woodford Formation)
• Site preparation nearing completion, surface production facilities design underway

Brookside Energy Ltd has executed an IADC Drilling Contract with Kenai Drilling, securing Rig 18 for its upcoming development drilling program in the SWISH Area of Interest (AOI) in the Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma. Rig 18 is currently engaged in a two-well program in the Ardmore Basin, south of the SWISH AOI, and will move to Brookside's SWISH AOI location following completion of those operations. The rig will be used to drill the Company's next two-well development pad at the Suttles location, comprising the Sabres Well (targeting the Sycamore Formation) and the Whalers Well (targeting the Woodford Formation). Each well is designed with approximately 1.5-mile lateral sections and will be drilled in a similar orientation to the Continental Resources Courbet and Gapstow development areas located immediately to the south. Earthworks on the Suttles pad are nearing completion, with site preparation progressing in line with expectations. Design, planning and procurement for the required surface production facilities, including tank batteries, is underway, with construction scheduled to be completed prior to the drilling rig moving onto location. This is expected to support a smooth transition from drilling and completion into production and first sales.
