New Western Energy Corp. has filed an intent to drill the Anna #1 well on its B&W Ranch Lease located in Chautauqua County, Kansas.
The Anna #1 well is scheduled to be drilled to approximately 1,900 ft., a depth sufficient to test the Mississippi Dolomite formation. Drilling is to commence later this month and is the second well of a 3 well exploration and development program.
Javan Khazali, President and CEO of New Western Energy Corp., commented: "We are excited to commence our drilling operations in this highly prospective area which has been known to contain multiple productive oil and gas pay zones. This second well will be drilled with an Air Rig so that we can better evaluate and quantify the coal gas formations that were encountered through drilling operations of the Magnus #1 well, the first well drilled in our three well drilling program on the B&W Ranch. We look forward to exciting developments as our exploration and development program unfolds."
