The completion and stimulation of both wells is expected to take place in late December 2010 or early January 2011.

Lucas has a 15% carried working interest in both wells, as per which Lucas does not have to contribute to the drilling and completion costs.

Lucas Energy president and chief executive officer William Sawyer said that production is anticipated to commence in January 2011 with revenues commencing in February 2011.

"This is a milestone in our Eagle Ford horizontal program," Sawyer said.
