3 Wells in Proven Acreage b4 Dec 1414 Nov 2014 09:45
The icing on the cake is that three wells in proven acreage with excellent drilling results to date from the neighboring wells will be flowing before year end:
1) Lennox Property, Lea County, New Mexico: The Lennox 32 State Unit #4H horizontal Bone Spring well (the "32-4H well") reached the intended total measured depth of approximately 15,545 feet on September 18, 2014. The scheduled fracture stimulation date of October 16, 2014, has been rescheduled for early December due to an impending casing repair job, which the Company expects to remedy quickly. Caza currently has a 50.00% working interest (approximate 38.98% net revenue interest) in the 32-4H well and the Lennox Property.
2) East Marathon Road Property, Lea County, New Mexico: As announced on October 9, 2014, Caza entered into an exploration and development agreement with a large independent company (the "partner") to acquire a lease comprising 480 gross acres in the heart of the Bone Spring Play and drill an initial test well. The property is referred to as East Marathon Road because of its close proximity to the Company's Marathon Road Property and is on trend with some of Caza's very prolific producing wells including: Marathon Road 15 PA Fed #1H, West Copperline 29 Fed #4H and Broadcaster 29 Fed #3H wells. The initial well, the Igloo 19 State #2H (the "19-2H well") horizontal Bone Spring test well, is currently drilling ahead in the lateral section of the well at 11,238 feet measured depth in the 3rd Bone Spring Sand. Caza is providing 100% of the costs attributable to the partner's 60% working interest in the property for drilling, completing and equipping the well through production facilities to earn a 30% working interest in the lease and property. All costs and expenses thereafter will be borne on a heads-up basis (Caza 30% and partner 30%).
3) Marathon Road/Lynch Property, Lea County, New Mexico: The operator commenced operations on the Marathon Road 15 OB Fed #1H horizontal Bone Spring well on October 6, 2014. The well reached the intended total measured depth of 15,625 feet on November 6, 2014, and is awaiting fracture stimulation. The market will be updated once the well has been fracture stimulated and producing rates stabilize. This well is a direct offset to the very successful Marathon Road 15 PA Fed #1H horizontal Bone Spring well, which had an initial 30 day average of 1,974 Boe/d gross, consisting of 1,721 bbls of oil and 1.52 MMcf of natural gas. Caza currently has a 14.7% working interest (approximate 12.5% net revenue interest) in these wells and the Marathon Road Property.
