HOUSTON, Jul 18, 2006
(PRIMEZONE via COMTEX News Network)
Index Oil and Gas, Inc. ("Index," "the Company") (OTCBB:IXOG) today announced that the Company has signed contracts to increase its equity interest in two exploration wells already signed with a partner.
Index previously held interests in four wells to be drilled in Louisiana and South Texas during 2006 under a joint operating agreement with the Crawford Operating Company.
One of these, Walker No. 1, has already been drilled successfully and the construction of the production pipeline is nearing completion. First production from Walker No. 1 is expected by the end of this month.
Having reviewed the prospects for the remaining 3 wells, Index has now elected to increase its equity in two of them:
- Vieman No. 1: originally 12.5%, now increased to 17%
- Taffy No. 2: originally 7.5%, now increased to 20%
In the event of commercial success, and these wells being put into production, this increased equity would have the effect of enhancing near term revenues for Index from these prospects.
Vieman No. 1 has an anticipated spud date in September 2006. Taffy No. 1 (where Index's equity remains at 7.5%) and Taffy No. 2 (with the increased 20% equity) will be drilled in late Q3 or early Q4 2006.
