AusTex Oil goes 4 for 4, finding oil in Oklahoma
Investors could be excused for thinking it was Groundhog Day, as AusTex Oil (ASX: AOK) repeated earlier drill successes in Tulsa County, Oklahoma, finding oil and gas a fourth time within a month.
However, the question needs to be posed, is the best yet to come?
Ron Link, senior field engineer for AusTex Oil, said today “We haven’t found our best well yet on this property, and further drilling is not only justified but necessary”.
Open-hole logs run overnight in Mayo Moore #3 indicate recoverable hydrocarbons in at least four formations including the Arbuckle Limestone. Casing has been set and the well will be completed for production testing in the coming weeks.
Since 16 September, AOK has drilled 4 successful wells with completion of the Mayo Moore #1 and Mayo Moore #2 in the final stages.
AOK holds a 100% working interest and 81.25% net revenue interest in this project.
Earlier discoveries, Mayo Moore #1 and Mayo Moore #2 are nearing completion.
The Mayo-Moore lease group "has proved to be an exciting lease addition for AOK with 3 successive wells that indicate excellent shows of oil and gas in multiple formations," said Dan Lansky managing director of AOK.
Engineering staff are currently planning and permitting an additional four more wells on this section of the Lancaster Lease group. Negotiations to acquire additional contiguous acreage are well advanced.
