The well is drilling ahead to a programmed total depth of 4,000 feet with the primary target gas reservoir at approximately 3,600 feet. Secondary gas reservoir targets are expected to be encountered while drilling down to the main objective.

The Almond Grove 4-13 is said to be an important well for the Southeast Lost Hills gas project in which the company is targeting a recoverable gas resource of 40 Bcf with upside for over 100 Bcf in the acreage position (over 5,000 acres) that the company holds over the gas play.

The well is located over one kilometer from Solimar’s current gas producing facilities and will immediately be tied into this existing infrastructure.

Solimar has a 100% interest in the Southeast Lost Hills gas project.
