Both companies are currently proposing the recompletion of the McWhorter and Boyette proven zones in their respective wells.

Additionally, plans are to have the Young #1 well, which adjoins the McWhorter, convert into a salt water disposal well, in order to support the McWhorter production operations and economics.

The company said that it was also agreed that in-depth technical evaluations be conducted on the two undeveloped Barnett Shale locations situated on the Boyette lease at the 5,500ft depth.

According to the company, recent successes in the local Barnett wells have encouraged both management and its operator, to advance the timing on the Barnett evaluation.

The recompletion operation is expected to begin within the next thirty days.
