The OK-4 #1 well is expected to take approximately two weeks to reach a total depth. The well site was selected based on positive indications from 3-D seismic surveys and is targeting hydrocarbon bearing sands similar to that found at the company’s 08-3 wells and 09-3 wells.

Leroy Halterman, president of Brinx Resources, said: “The company is very pleased to see this project get started on schedule despite the bitter cold, freezing rain, and heavy snowfalls that have swept through southern Oklahoma.

“Our familiarity and knowledge of the area’s geology gives us solid indication that both wells in the program will potentially encounter multiple oil and gas zones.”

Brinx Resources is an exploration and production company focused on developing North American and international oil and natural gas reserves. The company’s current focus is on the exploration and development of its land portfolio comprised of working interests in the 08-3, 09-2, 09-3, and 09-4 Oklahoma projects; Three Sands project in Noble county, Oklahoma; King City project in California; and the Palmetto Point and Belmont Lake oil field projects in Mississippi.
