Questerre Evaluates Saskatchewan Oil Shale

Questerre Energy Corp. (TSX:QEC) announced that the initial phase of assessment has been completed for its Saskatchewan oil shale licenses.

As quoted in the press release:

The winter program was designed to evaluate the western block, known as the Arborfield block, covering 58,112 net acres. During the first quarter of 2012, over 700m of continuous core was obtained from 10 new wells. The wells were drilled to an average depth of 100m with wireline logs acquired from surface to depth. Good core was recovered throughout the Second White Specks shale, the primary formation of interest. Approximately 30m of the target oil shale formation was encountered in all the wells drilled.
