The four wells in question are located on three tracts of land known as the Alexander A, housing 1 re-entry well called the #2, the Alexander B, housing 2 shut-in wells called the #1 & #3 and the Anton, housing 1 shut in well called the Anton #1.
The company drilled through the second plug from the surface down to about 300′ and proceeded further in the anticipation of reaching the top of the first plug, which was expected to be around 1368′.
The company said that the second plug was reached at around 1481′ but the well then had to be shut in overnight due to adverse weather conditions.
Work has since continued and while circulating and drilling through the plug, several returns containing oil was found in addition to several gas kicks.
Drilling continued on the well and through the top of the first plug that reached to round 1740′.
