Saxon Oil Company has announced that the Williams 3-9 well in Caddo County, Oklahoma, US, has reached a total depth of 13,717 feet. The operator, Western Oil & Gas, will begin completion of the well immediately.

Mud and electric logs taken during the drilling phase of the well indicated excellent porosity and gas saturation in the primary productive zones of interest in the Red Fork formation.

Saxon has various working interests in four existing wells adjacent to the Williams 3-9 well in the Lasley Field, Oklahoma, US, and all produce from Red Fork sandstones. According to Saxon’s reserve report prepared by LaRoche Petroleum Consultants, each of these wells has an average gross estimated ultimate recovery of more than 3 billion cubic feet of natural gas.

Total cost to drill and complete the well is expected to be approximately $2.4 million. Saxon owns a 4.4 % working interest in the well.
