Comstock Resources (CRK) provided an oil & natural gas drilling update in the Eagle Ford Shale play located in South Texas.
In the South Texas region, the Company drilled 20 (19.2 net) horizontal Eagle Ford shale wells in 2011. Comstock completed 17 wells (17.0 net) including one well that was drilled in 2010. These wells had an average per well initial production rate of 820 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") per day. Four wells (3.2 net) were awaiting completion at year end. Since the last update, Comstock has completed four additional wells in its Eagle Ford shale program. The Gloria Wheeler "A" #1H was drilled to a vertical depth of 11,358 feet with a 6,725 foot lateral. This well was tested at an initial rate of 1,070 barrels of oil per day and 1.1 MMcf of natural gas per day or 1,254 BOE per day. The Gloria Wheeler "B" #1H was drilled to a vertical depth of 10,908 feet with a 5,175 foot lateral. This well was tested at an initial rate of 916 barrels of oil per day and 1.0 MMcf of natural gas per day or 1,085 BOE per day. The Donnell "A" #1H was drilled to a vertical depth of 9,404 feet with a 6,481 foot lateral. This well was tested at an initial rate of 646 barrels of oil per day and 0.2 MMcf of natural gas per day or 686 BOE per day. The Cutter Creek #2H was drilled to a vertical depth of 10,013 feet with a 5,541 foot lateral. This well was tested at an initial rate of 471 barrels of oil per day and 0.4 MMcf of natural gas per day or 541 BOE per day. All of the reported well results were obtained while following Comstock's restricted choke program.
