A horizontal West Texas oil well in Gaines County (RRC Dist. 8A), Texas, was reported by Fortuna Resources Development LLC. The Dempsey Creek Field completion, #3H Challenger 6, was tested on-pump flowing 242 bbl of 33-degree-gravity crude, 423 Mcf of gas and 1.937 Mbbl of water daily from acid- and fracture-treated San Andres at 5,143-9,745 ft. It was drilled to 10,027 ft, 4,750 ft true vertical, in Section 5, Block A10, PSL Survey, A-694. The lateral bottomed more than 1 mile to the south-southwest in Section 6.
