This new well, together the recently completed X8v lateral development well, formed part of the company’s 2010 drilling program at the Singleton field.
The X11 horizontal development well was recently brought on-stream at an initial rate of about 200 boepd, which is in-line with pre-drill expectations.
The well design has been optimized for stimulation and plans are currently being progressed to carry out an acid fracture operation this year to increase production rates further.
The Singleton field is operated by Providence Resources with partner Noble Energy.
Providence Resources said it will continue the re-development of the Singleton oilfield with further drilling planned in 2011.
