The Northeast Parks was drilled to the Forbes Formation and tested at a stabilized rate of 1.7 million cubic feet per day on a 12/64 choke. It encountered multiple high porosity and permeable natural gas filled sands.

The Victor Ranch 3-9 in the East Rice Creek tested at a stabilized rate of 1 million cubic ft. of natural gas per day on a 12/64 choke.

Both wells logged additional pay zones that will be completed and produced following production from current completions.

Gas sales from both wells are expected to begin in August due to the wells close proximity to the pipeline.
