HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - February 3, 2011) - Mogul Energy International, Inc. (
As operator of the Stafford Well #1, Mogul anticipates the drilling, to total depth of 7,400 feet, will take approximately 8 to 10 days. Logging and any additional testing will occur immediately after drilling is complete. Mogul, with its 15% net working interest, together with its partners, will test several prospective zones within the Frio formation. Pending results of the first well will determine if additional offset locations will be immediately planned.
President and CEO, Tim Turner said, "We are excited to be moving forward with our first exploitation prospect in Texas. Mogul's team has spent the last several months studying data and well logs from offset producing wells, in several prospects, and we are eager to test the potential that the Stafford Well #1 may bring as our first prospect. With the drilling permit approved, the signed drilling contract in hand and the funds in place, Mogul is ready to spud the well as soon as possible. Drill site preparations have been initiated and as soon as that is complete, we will look to move the rig onto the location and begin drilling operations."
