Encore Energy, Inc. Provides Status Update for Horizontal Berea Oil Well Drilling, Completion and Production Operations in Lawrence County, Kentucky
Encore Energy, Inc. is pleased to report that earlier this year the Company successfully drilled the JDH #5 horizontal Berea oil well project with up to 3000' of reported oil pay section. Despite the Covid 19 setbacks, the Company is now completing the JDH #5 for production and preparing to drill multiple horizontal off-set well locations, including the JDH #6 and JDH #7 at its Peters Branch lease and the Company's WFC #H1 lease to the north near Fallsburg in Lawrence County.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky., Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The JDH #5 reported strong oil fluorescence, oil cuts, oil shows in mud pit, strong gas kick(s), circulated oil while cementing casing, and the confidential mud log further reconfirms the Company's belief for the well's future crude oil production and total reserve potential.
"Encore is extremely excited about the drilling results at JDH #5 and super excited about the Frac, well completion and production operations for this well," said Steve Stengell, Encore's President and CEO.
"We are learning, perfecting our well plan and working with the brightest minds across the Berea play. This could begin a new chapter for Encore and the Company's next three (3) horizontal Berea well projects," added Stengell.
"The JDH #5 is located off-set to multiple Tier I high-volume Berea oil producers and we are looking for first production in the 4th quarter." The Company has already drilled 2000' of vertical hole at Fallsburg.
Tier I horizontal Berea oil wells in this area have reportedly averaged in the range of ~100 - 150 BOPD over the initial 90 days of production with an estimated EUR ~100000 - 150000 BOE high-side reserve target estimate per well. Berea oil production from Lawrence County, Kentucky reportedly represents nearly ~20 - 25% of the states total annual oil production.
"The fact the SEC defined investors can deduct 100% of their investment against all forms of income (state and federal) and further mitigates a good amount of the risk associated with these projects," added Stengell.
Oil and gas investments are subject to a high degree of risk, uncertainty, unpredictability, indefinite delays, loss of investment and are suitable only for SEC defined accredited investors who are sophisticated in making business and investment decisions. No assurances can be made as it relates to production, income, distributions, reserves, profitability, prices, timelines and/or any other estimates.
The SEC definition of an accredited investor is better explained on the SEC's website:
Qualified SEC defined accredited investors (SEC Regulation D, Rule 506c) can deduct 100% of their intangible and tangible drilling costs against all forms of income (state and federal) with years of potential income from production. These tax savings mitigate a good amount of risk associated with oil and gas drilling, completion and production operations.
