The Hefley 90-01H well was drilled during June and July this year with fracturing operations completed earlier this month.
Initial production rates during the flowback period were 11mmcfpd and 175 barrels of condensate per day.
Vaalco Energy chairman and CEO Robert Gerry initial production rates are in-line with the company’s expectations and it has staked out a site for the second well to be drilled on the lease.
In addition, the company is developing plans for drilling additional wells on the Granite Wash formation properties in Texas as well as the Bakken formation properties in Montana.
