Magnolia Petroleum Says Shimanek 2 Drilling Commences

Fri, 17th Jul 2015 06:51

LONDON (Alliance News) - Magnolia Petroleum PLC on Friday said its Shimanek 2 vertical well in Oklahoma has now commenced drilling operations.

The well, which is 94%-owned and operated by Magnolia, will be drilled to a 5,300 feet depth and is targeting multiple conventional payzones, the company said.

"With an estimated USD8 per barrel operating cost, the economics of drilling the Shimanek 2 well remain highly attractive," said Chief Operating Officer Rita Whittington.
