Caza Oil & Gas looks at horizontal option in New Mexico

 Caza will target 'oil and liquids-rich opportunities within our inventory'. Caza will target "oil and liquids-rich opportunities within our inventory".

US-focused oil group Caza Oil & Gas (LON:CAZA, TSE:CAZ) said today it may take its New Mexico acreage horizontal after good results from other similar drilling nearby.

Chief executive W Michael Ford said that it intends to “target these oil and liquids-rich opportunities within our inventory”.

Caza has a 40% working interest and a 32% net revenue interest in the Mud Slide Slim well in New Mexico, which has been producing gas since 2008.

This prospect includes the Bone Spring horizontal play where a host of other producers have been drilling wells in the past 18 months.

Caza said it recently conducted its own extensive stimulation and production tests on each of the Bone Spring zones in the Mud Slide Slim well.

The tests showed each zone of interest, the Avalon Shale and 1st and 3rd Bone Spring Sands, to be commercially productive and therefore viable horizontal targets.

Caza has now comingled these zones with the well producing at a peak daily rate of 159 barrels of oil per day and is currently producing 73 barrels of oil per day using a pumping unit.

W Michael Ford added: “The recent re-completion of the Mud Slide Slim well in the Bone Spring Formation has further improved our production profile at a relatively low cost to the company.”

“More importantly, we are very excited about the Bone Spring Formation and the potential for further horizontal drilling within our lease blocks.  We are currently evaluating the production potential of the Bone Spring horizontal play and how it might impact our current New Mexico acreage position. This may also impact our 2012 drill plan when evaluated against the rest of our prospect/property inventory.” 

Caza added that fourth quarter production overall increased to 277 barrels of oil equivalent per day, up 19% on the third quarter’s 233 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
