The Rooster #A-3 well encountered approximately 30′ net oil and gas pay in Tex W sand interval. The initial production rate from the well was 1242 BOPD, 5.16 MMCFD, through a 16/64th choke with a flowing pressure of 6000 psi. As a result of being able to utilize the existing production facility in place, Rooster was able to begin marketing production from the well within several days of completion.
Rooster Petroleum said that Rooster Eugene Island #A-3 is the fourth successful well for the company. The Rooster #A-3 well increases the reserves of the company and is the first of several wells that Rooster anticipates drilling on Eugene Island Block 28. Additionally, building on the success at Eugene Island Block 28, Rooster Petroleum plans to pursue a drilling programme in 2010 to exploit its existing asset base in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Rooster Petroleum, a subsidiary of Morrison Energy, seeks to acquire and operate mature oil and gas properties primarily located in Gulf of Mexico and adjacent waters and exploit and explore those assets for remaining reserves while managing ultimate decommissioning.
