The operation should be completed within a couple of days and could lead to the launch of the long-term production test. This completion program is required as a result of the analysis of the initial production data which revealed that a certain portion of the high density drilling fluids remain in the well. Prior to commencing a long term production test, the Corporation must ensure that the well has first been properly cleaned.

Petrolia also advises that Isabelle Proulx is no longer employed by the Company.
