In order to further test the well, a #5 choke was added to restrict the flow to approximately 50bopd of quality 42 API oil. The test period has ended and the well is now being tied in to a new battery facility owned by the company and its partners. Delta expects the well to be on full production within the next two weeks.
A complete suite of logs run on the well indicate approximately 13ft of oil pay with an average porosity of 30%. The company said that the drainage covers approximately 40 to 50 acres.
Delta will be evaluating the expected production rates and the company has instructed it’s consultants to set locations for 2 additional wells based on the 3-D Seismic and the success of Donner #1.
The Texas prospect contemplates the drilling of a total of three wells in the Newton County area. Delta owns a 40% gross working interest in the wells covered by this drilling program.
