This is the Texas of Ried," said Riedstadt Mayor Marcus Kretschmann (CDU) on Wednesday when the exploratory drilling was presented to the interested press. The statement is no coincidence: Rhein Petroleum has been producing oil there in the deep well "Schwarzbach 1" for around five years, has now started the new well in the immediate vicinity on the site under the name "Schwarzbach 2" and probably wants to too let "Schwarzbach 3" and "Schwarzbach 4" follow. "We can drill two more wells from this drilling rig," explains Peter Appel, Managing Director of Rhein Petroleum GmbH. This means that more pipes will be drilled - "in different directions, but with the same steps".
