The company said that three of the five zones tested have now been placed on production and are delivering both oil and gas into pre-prepared production facilities and nearby pipelines.
Average production is approximately 500 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) of which 70% is oil and 30% is gas.
The company said that the oil is a light crude, graded as 45 degrees API.
Test production will continue for up to 60 days, at the end of which a decision will be made whether to continue producing only the three zones, leaving the remaining two zones behind pipe for future production, or whether to produce from one or two more zones at this time.
Two further step-out wells are proposed for drilling on the same Upper Wilcox prospect during 2011.
