BlackBrush Oil & Gas, LP has signed an agreement with its partners to drill an Eagleford horizontal well on the South Texas Syndicate Ranch of LaSalle County. BlackBrush, with its partner, shot approximately 34 square miles of high quality 3D seismic data this past summer which has delineated prospects in the Lower Wilcox, Olmos Sands, Eagleford Shale, Edwards Limestone, Pearsall Shale, Sligo and Cotton Valley formations.
The third party operator will spud the Eagleford test before May of 2009.
This block of acreage is approximately 9,416 contiguous acres on the South Texas Syndicate Ranch and is a direct offset to the Petrohawk South Texas Syndicate #241-H, which was placed on production in October 2008 at a rate of 9.1 million cubic feet of gas per day from the Eagleford at a true vertical depth of 11,300 feet.
Petrohawk has reportedly drilled another successful offset well to the east of this acreage, the Donnell #1 in McMullen County and a third well 15 miles west southwest of the #241-H, the Dora Martin #1.
