From the EKA report, a 6000ft horizontal targeting the upper interval where it
is reported that 3 wells are successfully producing gas and condensate?

Posted on an aussie forum, make of it what you will?
I was alerted to this forum by a fellow Karnes County resident; I'd like to share some on-the-ground knowledge re: the Kowalik well. We own the property immediately adjacent to the drill site and included in the pooled acreage since it is over the horizontal run. I've attached a photo of the rig taken last week. We received a call from Texas Crude yesterday wanting to negotiate a pipeline easement across our property "by the end of the week." They sent out surveyors today and should have a plat back to us tomorrow. Texas Crude is working quickly to get a pipeline laid to connect the well into the Houston Pipeline (high pressure gas) approximately a mile away.

Looks like a few shorters scurrying for cover on this one. Very wise in my view since EME must be nearing some potentially spectacular news if the drilling is going to plan.

Eme is building up the price as increased suddendly. An update or news release with greatdetails is hovvering around various city financial people. This is a good sign that the fracturing as out standing results in Texas. Watch this accelerate.

Seems there was a lot of speculation prior to results? Kowalik-1H was never expected to complete at this moment, a whole lot more work needed.

Empyrean Energy PLC
('Empyrean' or the 'Company'; Ticker: (EME))
Sugarloaf Prospect, ('Sugarloaf'), Block B, Texas USA
Kowalik #1H Well vertical pilot hole completed and about to log and then drill horizontal
Kennedy #1H well to have production facility installed to place on long term production
Empyrean Energy Plc, the oil and gas explorer and producer with assets in Germany and the USA provides the following update on operations on Block B which is part of the Sugarkane Gas and Condensate Field:
Kowalik #1H Well
Empyrean has been advised by the operator of the Sugarloaf area of mutual interest, Texas Crude Energy Inc ('TCEI'), that as of 06:00hrs 12/08/08 (US CST) the Kowalik #1H well had reached the vertical pilot hole target depth of 11,970 feet and the operator was running wireline logs. Elevated gas readings increased from a background of 120 units to approximately 400 units when drilling through the Austin Chalk interval.
Once logged, the vertical pilot hole is planned to be plugged back and then directionally sidetracked to the top of the chalk before casing is run prior to drilling the horizontal section. The well is planned to have a horizontal section targeting the same interval that has produced in the TCEI JV Block A-1 and A-3 wells.
Kennedy #1H Well
Empyrean has been advised by TCEI that the well is currently shut-in while the Operator prepares to install a production facility and tie-in the well to a nearby gas transmission line.
At the time of shut-in the well was producing at approximately 180,000 cubic feet of gas per day, 33 barrels of condensate per day and minor amounts of water (frac fluid).
A decision as to whether to perforate and fracture stimulate the additional 3000 feet of lateral section will be made following further analysis of the performance of the well during production.

Details emerging. Empryean Energy was at 37.5p haveing earlier extented Mondays strong share price gain to reach 40p as suggested posative news was in the pipeline from its gas projects in Texas. The Sugarloaf-1.

Empyrean Energy Takes Encouragement From Kowalik-1H Drilling As Sugarloaf Project Sustains Forward Momentum
The London-based Empyrean Energy continues to make good progress with its high impact Sugarloaf project in Texas, sustaining the forward momentum from work carried out earlier this year.
With some established production behind it from the Margarita project on the Gulf coast the AIM-listed group has always been taken seriously by investors. By and large, it has been insulated from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune that have struck down many a peer E&P firm in recent times.
If anything, the only erratic share price movements have been upwards. In April, Empyrean shares surged almost 90 per cent on news that a well on Sugarloaf tested commercial quantities of gas and condensate.
At the time, this was the first of a series of discoveries to test in the project area with the Texas Crude Energy joint venture block A-3 well flowing at 1.9 million cubic feet of gas per day and over 460 barrels of condensate per day. The company has subsequently talked of flow rates significantly above this.
However, Empyreans shares have been known to drift following these lofty peaks, something that may only be remedied once more production starts seeping through.
In its most recent update, Empyrean said that early gas readings from the Kowalik-1H well, now underway, were above expectations. It said that elevated gas readings increased from a background of 120 units to approximately 400 units when drilling through the Austin Chalk interval.
Operator Texas Crude Energy is targeting the same interval that produced in the earlier Block A-1 and A-3 wells. It plans to use horizontal drilling to access the interval. The well has now reached the vertical pilot hole target depth of 11,970 feet, which will be used as a start point for directional drilling to access the target area.
These are early findings and early days. As oilbarrel.com noted in its last coverage of Empyrean at the start of July, caution is necessary with the Austin Chalk reservoir.
Nonetheless, in the Austin Chalk some 5 tcf of gas and 600 million barrels of oil have been produced from the Giddings and Pearsall fields alone. Though Empyrean is the smaller partner here these numbers most certainly are not.
Empyrean also updated investors this week on the Kennedy-1H well, which could be the fresh production investors are seeking. This is currently shut-in as the operator installs a production facility to tie-in the well to a nearby gas transmission line.
Remember also that this is an area of the US with extensive energy infrastructure ready to eat up any new gas supply that comes along.
At the time of shut-in the well was producing at approximately 180,000 cubic feet of gas per day, slightly lower than earlier figures released, and 33 barrels of condensate per day.
Texas Crude Energy plans to monitor initial production performance from the well to assess whether to perforate and fracture stimulate the additional 3,000 feet of lateral section.
What can be said is that output from Sugarloaf seems likely to be an exponential step up from what is being produced from Margarita. In time, the operator is expecting a 44 well development on Empyreans acreage, and in a mature gas-hungry market such as the US this is a big deal.

Worth digesting the oil-barrel article before making a decision, this is a news driven company and charts will have little bearing on the end game?

Meridian Reports Test Results of BSM A-507 No. 1 Well in East Texas Austin Chalk Play
HOUSTON, Aug. 12, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The Meridian Resource Corporation (NYSE:TMR) today announced initial production test results on its Blackstone Minerals A-507 No. 1 ("BSM") well, located in Polk County, Texas in the Company's East Texas Austin Chalk Play. The well was recently tested over a several day period at gross daily flow rates as high as 20 million cubic feet of natural gas per day ("Mmcf/d") and 6,200 barrels of oil per day ("Bopd"). Flowing tubing pressure was measured at approximately 1,300 pounds per square inch ("psi") through an open choke. The well was drilled vertically to approximately 13,000 feet then added two horizontal laterals. The first lateral extends approximately 5,400 feet in length with the second extending approximately 6,200 feet for a total wellbore exposure in the Austin Chalk of 11,600 feet.
The dual lateral well was placed on production shortly after the start of the test, and is still in a "clean-up" of drilling fluids phase with intermittent fluctuations normally experienced during the first several day phases of production for wells similarly drilled and produced in the area. The well is currently producing between 11 and 17 Mmcf/d into sales relative to pipeline pressure constraints, in addition to approximately 4,200 Bopd. The Company expects that the well will display similar producing characteristics to other Austin Chalk wells in the area, with the typical hyperbolic decline curve from current production levels during the coming months. However it can be noted that the initial test rate for this well is one of the best in this area. This well is located approximately 5 miles southeast of Leggett, Texas. Meridian owns approximately 38% working interest in this well (26% net).
