Xcite Energy reported that the 9/3b-7z well has reached target depth of 9,646 feet (measured depth) on the Bentley Field.

A reservoir section in excess of 2,000 feet has been drilled with 100 percent net pay and sand control screens have been run successfully. The top reservoir, at 3,609 feet true vertical depth, is higher than previously encountered in any part of the field to date, thereby giving an oil column depth of approximately 121 feet Geo-steering was again used successfully in the reservoir section to place nearly 100 percent of the wellbore in the target range of within 5 feet to 12 feet from the roof of the reservoir.
