Breitling Energy Corporation (OTCBB: BECC) announces its third well
under the previously announced Farmout Agreement in the Permian Basin of
west Texas spud yesterday. The Sellers ‘66’ #1 is expected to be drilled
to a depth of approximately 8,600 vertical feet within 30 days under
normal field operations.
The Company anticipates intersecting similar pay zones as its other two
wells on the acreage, the #1 Hoppe ‘63’ and the Parramore #1, both of
which were drilled to a similar depth in 2014.
“While many producers are pulling back right now, we’re moving forward.
This is important acreage and we intend to develop it fully according to
plan. The economics work for us at $50 oil, so we’re still drilling,”
says Chris Faulkner, Breitling Energy Chairman and CEO.
The Company plans to drill a total of eight wells on its Permian Basin
lease to earnout the total acreage under the Farmout Agreement. Based on
the results of the initial eight wells, the Company may opt to drill out
the acreage using the most successful wells to guide its future drilling
locations.
