Delta Oil & Gas Hits Total Depth & Completes
First Texas Prospect Well
June 8, 2010
Delta Oil and Gas, Inc, (OTC:BB – DLTA)
is pleased to report that the company has successfully drilled
Donner #1 to total depth. This is the first of three proposed wells in its Texas
Project. Based on the suite of electric logs conducted on this
well over the weekend, Delta and its partner unanimously agreed to
complete the well for oil production. The setting of production casing
was completed on. Monday June 7, 2010.
The first well (“Donner #1”) was spud on May 28, 2010
and the targeted depth of 7,600 feet was achieved on June 4, 2010. A
suite of electric logs was run to total depth and these have strongly
indicated approximately 20 feet of hydrocarbon pay. Based on
this initial data, Delta and its partner decided to set production
casing. Delta will be evaluating the expected production rates and
the Company has instructed it’s Consultants to set locations
for additional wells, as well as to evaluate the wisdom of opening
up significant reserves within Donner #1 with lateral drilling.
The
Texas prospect contemplates the drilling of a total of three wells
in the Newton County area. Once flowing production has stabilized
the Company will provide further updates.
Delta owns a 40% gross working
interest in the wells covered by this drilling program and at present,
has fully paid the drilling and completion costs associated with the
Donner #1.
