Abraxas Petroleum Corporation
is pleased to provide the
following operational and acquisition update.
Williston Basin
In McKenzie County, North Dakota, the Lillibridge 5H, producing from the
Middle Bakken, averaged 1,049 boepd (861 barrels of oil per day, 1,127 mcf of
natural gas per day) over the well's first 30 full days of production^(1). The
Lillibridge 6H, producing from the Three Forks, averaged 921 boepd (762
barrels of oil per day, 954 mcf of natural gas per day) over the well's first
30 full days of production^(1). The Lillibridge 7H, producing from the Middle
Bakken, averaged 1,005 boepd (840 barrels of oil per day, 989 mcf of natural
gas per day) over the well's first 30 full days of production^(1). The
Lillibridge 8H, producing from the Three Forks, averaged 1,049 boepd (902
barrels of oil per day, 883 mcf of natural gas per day over the well's first
25 full days of production^(1). Each of the four Lillibridge wells was
constrained on a 16 to 20/64^th choke.
On the Jore Federal East pad, lateral casing has been set in the Middle Bakken
on the Jore 2H and Jore 4H to a depth of 20,989 feet and 20,895, respectively.
Raven Rig #1 is currently walking to the Jore 1H to drill the lateral section
in the Three Forks. The three Jore wells are currently scheduled to be fraced
in mid-February. In the event of extreme winter weather, the fracs could be
postponed until the weather abates.
Abraxas owns a working interest of approximately 34% and 76% in the
Lillibridge and Jore pads, respectively.
Permian Basin
In Nolan County, Texas, the Spires Ranch 129 2H averaged 92 boepd (59 barrels
of oil per day, 196 mcf of natural gas per day) over the well's first 30 full
days of production^(1). Abraxas owns a 100% working interest in the Spires
Ranch 129 2H.
Eagle Ford
At Abraxas' Jourdanton prospect, in Atascosa County, Texas, the Blue Eyes 1H
continues to flow to sales at encouraging rates. Thus, Abraxas recently
permitted the Snake Eyes 1H, which is expected to spud in the first quarter of
2014. Abraxas owns a 100% working interest in the Blue Eyes 1H and Snake Eyes
1H.
At Abraxas' Cave prospect, in McMullen County, Texas, the company recently
cased the lateral of the Dutch 2H to a TD of 19,500 feet. The well is
scheduled to be completed with approximately 38 stages in January, 2014.
Abraxas holds a 100% working interest in the Dutch 2H.
Eagle Ford Acquisition
Abraxas continues to identify and transact on targeted lease blocks in its
core focus areas of the Eagle Ford shale. Recently, Abraxas acquired
approximately 440 net acres of leasehold in McMullen County known as Dilworth
East. The company believes the acreage block can accommodate up to four 5,000
foot lateral wells. Abraxas expects to be in a position to announce further
acreage acquisitions in the Eagle Ford in the near future.
Bob Watson, President and CEO of Abraxas, commented, “The Lillibridge West pad
again shows the benefit of our focused development program in the Bakken. With
a team oriented culture allowing our geology, drilling and completion teams to
work together seamlessly toward a common goal, and with a stalwart focus on
attention to detail, we continue to show superior well results.
“Given the early results of the Blue Eyes 1H, we have elected to drill the
Snake Eyes 1H on the company's Jourdanton prospect in Atascosa County, Texas.
We look forward to an active development program on our 4,000+ net acre, 100%
working interest lease block at Jourdanton in 2014.
“On the A&D front, Abraxas continues to execute on adding quality lease blocks
in our targeted regions of the Eagle Ford as evidenced by the recent Dilworth
East acquisition. The company is currently permitting its first well at
Dilworth East, which it expects to spud early in the first quarter of 2014.”
