This is now the fourth consecutive well in this program to return gas shows in both the secondary and primary objectives.

The company said the significance of these shows can only be confirmed after running a full suite of electric logs. The wellbore is currently being conditioned to run logs which will be evaluated and released over the coming week.

“The third well in the program, Snell Heirs 8-13 is being prepared to be brought into production with perforations of one of the secondary objectives, the Jefferson Sandstone, being carried out this week,” said Tomahawk chairman Tony Brennan.

“An eight feet net pay of gas-saturated sand has been identified on electric logs and during drilling at the top of the Jefferson Sandstone.”
