The prospect’s exploration plan indicates that as many as three tests will be drilled in the eastern half of the tract. Nearby production is at Walter Oil & Gas’ Manta Ray Field (Ewing Bank Block 1006). Since coming online in 1999, reservoir output totals 4.9 MMbbl of crude/condensate and 12.6 Bcf of gas from a range of perforations in Pleistocene and Pliocene at 8,450-11,614 ft. Field production in recent years has come from one active well.
