Doral Energy Corp. (OTCBB: DRLY) today announced updates on the
Company's recent operations on two projects currently underway on its
oil and gas properties in Eddy County, New Mexico: recompletion of
Doral's Federal S No. 7 well as a Grayburg/San Andres completion; and
improvement of waterflood operations in the West Artesia Grayburg
Unit.
Recompletion of the Federal S No. 7 Well
Doral Energy has undertaken operations on its Federal S No. 7 well
(formerly known as the Mustang 28 Federal No. 1 drilled by Anadarko
Petroleum in 2001) to recomplete it as a Grayburg/San Andres oil
producer. Doral Energy has lease rights to a depth of 4,000' on the
240-acre Federal S Lease located approximately 0.5 mile south of Loco
Hills, NM. An offset well on the lease, the Federal S No. 6, (located
2,800' south of the Federal S No. 7) has produced over 143 MBO
(thousand barrels of oil) from the Grayburg Formation. If successful,
Doral Energy expects the Federal S No. 7 well to produce in the range
of 35-50 BOPD (barrels oil per day) and 25-35 MCFD (thousand cubic
feet of gas per day), increasing Doral Energy's total daily oil
production from its Hanson Energy properties by approximately 30%.
To date, the Company has successfully re-entered the well and set two
(2) cast iron bridge plugs to abandon the Paddock completion tested
by the previous operator. Doral has also run casing inspection and
cement bond logs to confirm the operational integrity of the wellbore
for recompletion and production. A set of modern cased-hole logs has
also been run over the interval from 1,500'-4,000', and the Company's
engineers and geologists are evaluating these logs to select
perforation intervals for testing and completion in the Grayburg/San
Andres formations. Doral plans to perforate and test the well next
week, properly stimulate the well as required, and begin production.
When asked to comment on the work to-date, Patrick Seale, Doral
Energy's President and Chief Operating Officer, stated, "We have been
very encouraged by what we have seen so far in these recompletion
operations. We have experienced some delays due to scheduling and
bringing in equipment, but we have taken the steps necessary to
properly evaluate the well and ensure that the formation intervals
selected will be the best for optimizing oil and gas production rates
from the Grayburg/San Andres formations. We will keep our
shareholders informed when more information is available."
West Artesia Grayburg Unit
The West Artesia Grayburg Unit ("WAGU") is a 640-acre waterflood unit
in Eddy County, NM, owned and operated by Doral Energy, which
currently has 16 producing wells and 7 water injection wells. The
WAGU is surrounded by 5 adjacent Doral Energy leases containing 240
acres and 9 producing wells, bringing the WAGU area totals to 880
acres containing 25 producing wells and 7 water injection wells.
