December 31, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Oil and gas drilling company hits a milestone at its 133,000 acre position in the Permian Basin in Texas. On the heels of a $6 million financing deal, the company has been releasing drill results and continues to drill.
Torchlight Energy Resources Inc. (TRCH:NASDAQ) completed the drilling phase of the A39 #1 well in addition to the A11 #2 well, both located in the Orogrande Basin in Hudspeth County, Texas. Torchlight owns 72.5% working interest in full of the 133,000 net acre unit.
Earlier this month, the company announced its that in conjunction with drill partner Wolfbone Properties and operator Maverick Operating, Torchlight has drilled A39 #1 to a vertical depth of 4,035 feet, and casing was set.
The company noted that "electric logs show excellent hydrocarbon potential in multiple intervals which is representative of economical conventional and unconventional productive formations."
This was preceded by an announcement in late November that well A11 #2 was drilled to a depth of 4,009 feet and casing was set.
Both wells will be "perforated and stimulated to commence testing of each well. Fracture stimulation will be employed at a later time as needed after results are measured," the company noted.
"We are making tremendous headway in our core project, the Orogrande,' stated John Brda, Torchlight's CEO. "Each well we drill gives us further scientific conformation with the last two wells demonstrating our pioneering effort to prove up a new pay zones within a newly discovered hydrocarbon system."
"We have proof positive of the existence of additional potential pay zones including an exciting San Andres look alike. As each well is drilled and completed it is important to remember that our results are proving viability for a much larger developmental effort and will accelerate our ongoing discussions with larger independents who have expressed interest in the project as a partner or acquirer," Brda added.
The next location to be drilled will be the University maverick A24 #1, where Torchlight plans to commence drilling after the holidays. Torchlight will be "testing a structural high that it expects will prove eight potential zones below the unconventional Penn formation that was previously discovered in the A25 #1 horizontal well."
The Orogrande Basin isn't Torchlight Energy's only focus.
