The initial well was drilled to a total depth of approximately 10,000ft to test the Oligocene Frio trend.

Bering Exploration vice president of finance Steven Plumb said that the drilling of this well is a crucial step in realizing revenues from this project.

"We are looking forward to adding additional projects in order to increase shareholder value," Plumb said.
