The well, which will be a horizontal well in the Austin Chalk formation, is being drilled with joint venture partners such as Seidler Oil and Gas.
A portion of the Rainey well is on the same lease as the two Hilcorp operated Hagen EF No.1H and No.2H wells producing from the Eagle Ford formation.
Lucas Energy president and CEO William Sawyer said that the Rainey well is one of several wells the company plans to drill this year with its joint venture partners.
