Empire Petroleum logs 21,006-foot Western Haynesville well re-entry in Texas for $4.4 million
  • Empire Petroleum completed a 21,006-foot re-entry and subsurface evaluation of the Wakefield-Harrison GU B #1 in Madison County, Texas.
  • Work returned a full open-hole logging suite and sidewall cores, with gas and liquids shows across the logged interval.
  • Project cost totaled about $4.4 million, using a legacy 1959 wellbore instead of a new ultra-deep well.
  • Evaluation opens about 11,000 feet below the Fort Trinidad field’s historic development depth, supporting plans for deeper gas development.
  • Two additional wells are slated for deepening to add logs, VSP data, and cores to refine 3D seismic interpretation.
