Breitling Energy Corporation Announces the Successful Drilling of
First Well in the Permian Basin
DALLAS, April 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Breitling Energy Corporation
(OTC: BECC) (the "Company"), a Dallas-based oil and gas exploration
and production company, announced today the successful drilling of its
first well on the Company's existing 3,680 acre farmout in Sterling
County, Texas in the prolific Permian Basin. The well reached total
depth of 9,215 feet in late March and the Company elected to run pipe
in the anticipation of fracking and completing the well in mid-May.
The Company has recently announced it had entered into a farmout
agreement with Steller Energy and Investment Corporation to gain
rights to the Permian Basin acreage.
"Considering we have the ability to down space to 20 acres in the
area, we could have one-hundred plus drilling locations in Sterling
County," stated Chris Faulkner, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer. Mr. Faulkner further noted, "The electric logs show
potentially productive zones in the Cisco-Canyon sands, the Cline, the
Strawn and the Wolfcamp formations and we look forward to updating our
stockholders again once we are able to quantify the increase in oil
and gas production that this well will contribute to the Company's
overall oil and gas production."
The Company currently plans to drill an additional seven new wells on
the Sterling County acreage to fully capture the total 3,680 acres.
