BOWLING GREEN, Ky., Jan. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Encore has drilled and completed its first horizontal well in Lawrence County, the JDH #4A, and the #4A is currently awaiting connection to a gas pipeline. Encore has also drilled the vertical Strat test well sections for the JDH #4, #NB-1 and WFC #H1 in preparation for horizontal well operations at both locations.

"The #NB-1A is in its in early stage of production / returning Frac treatment, and we are already making shipment(s) of crude oil from the lease.

The Company has recently completed a ~10000' gas pipeline (gas meters, gas transmission, processing equipment, etc.) to deliver gas from its Nelson Branch lease to Lawrence County Gas market, located to the north near Ramey Branch. Encore is also making plans to develop a similar gas pipeline system near Peters Branch to deliver gas approximately two (2) miles north. "The ability to move gas from each horizontal well project should allow us to better produce and manage oil production in the future", said Joseph Hooper, Encore's EVP – Director.
