To date, operators have pulled two of the 14 wells, and expect to have an additional 4 wells to go on pump within the next several days. Two of the wells that were pulled have flowed oil.

Operators are in the process of plumbing the tank battery and reworking the electrical and flow line systems, and expect to have power to the lease and a number of the wells pumping in the next several days. Operators are also in the process of permitting the proposed salt water injection well and will MIT test this well.

Plans to aggressively pump the wells until the flush production is recovered are scheduled to commence once all wells are on pump and the saltwater injection system is in place and functioning properly.
