A second flowrate test had a production rate of 910 Mcf of gas and 640 bbl/d of oil with continuing flow back of fracturing fluids. Four intervals were tested - High Cliff Sandstone, Irwin River Coals Measures, and two zones in Carynginia. Additional testing, production logging and data analysis are planned as well as a horizontal exploration well, #3-Arrosmith.
