Linc made the announcement on Tuesday adding that that it was now in the process of flow testing the Umiat-18 well. The results from that test are expected within the next seven to 14 days.

Umiat-18 was spudded last month, targeting the Lower Grandstand oil sands with a secondary objective of assessing the deeper resource potential at the well location.

Following the completion of operations at Umiat-18, Linc will turn its attention to the Umiat-23H horizontal well which will be drilled directionally into the same Lower Grandstand formation being tested in Umiat-18.
