The well, which was drilled recently to a depth of about 9,700′, encountered five pay zones in the prolific middle Wilcox formation.

Aztec owns a non-operated working interest in the well, which averaged 1700 million cubic feet of gas per day and 44 barrels of oil per day in December.

In less than 90 days, the well has already produced in excess of 100 million cubic feet of gas and 3,000 barrels of oil.

Aztec is an oil and gas exploration, development and production company focusing on Texas and other areas of the US.
