By GlobalDataAs part of a pre-drill plan, the JT Reese #S2 well will be drilled to a total depth of 5,200ft to target five separate horizons on the Northern flank of the Allen Dome salt dome.
Each of the sands has the potential to produce about 50 barrels of oil per day, while it is expected to take seven to eight days to reach TD.
Titan Energy US managing partner John McKnight said drilling of two exploration wells at the same time is a big achievement for the company.
"If we have drilling success here it will provide the company with significant momentum with a large number of potential, similar, follow up targets on both the Northern and Southern flanks of this proven, oil producing salt dome," McKnight added.
