The well, to be drilled at a depth of approximately 8600ft to test the Mississippian Chappel reef, will reach total depth in about 18 days.

Breitling Oil and Gas CEO Chris Faulkner said we are excited to continue our drilling efforts in Hardeman County with the Breitling-Stepp #1 prospect.

"The Mississippian Chappel has produced wells for us in the area and we feel confident that our 3D-seismic shoot has found another interesting anomaly within our acreage position here," Faulkner added.

The company said additional four wells which can be drilled if commercial production is found in the initial test well.

The well completion and testing is expected to begin by the last week of June.

Breitling has current oil and gas exploration projects all over the US.
