CRZO is one of our Small-Cap Growth Portfolio companies.
Earlier this month, Carrizo brought its initial Utica Shale well, the Rector 1H in Guernsey County, Ohio, online after its resting period. The Rector 1H was drilled to a true vertical depth of 7,456 ft. with an effective lateral of 7,890 ft. and was completed with 31 frac stages. The well tested at a peak gross rate of 1,680 Bbl/d of condensate and 5.6 MMcf/d of rich natural gas with a Btu content of 1,248 on a 24/64 in. choke. In ethane rejection mode, the gas stream is expected to yield 47 Bbl/d of NGLs per MMcf of gas and result in a natural gas shrink of 7%. Assuming full ethane recovery, the gas stream is expected to produce 111 Bbl/d of NGLs per MMcf of gas and result in a natural gas shrink of 17%. Carrizo plans to continue to conduct various flow and pressure tests on the well until it is hooked up to a sales pipeline later this year.
The company currently plans to bring a drilling rig into the Utica Shale in early Q2 to begin its 2014 drilling program. Carrizo then expects to maintain a 1-rig program in the play for the balance of the year.
Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. is a Houston-based energy company actively engaged in the exploration, development, and production of oil and gas from resource plays located in the United States. Our current operations are principally focused in proven, producing oil and gas plays primarily in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas, the Niobrara Formation in Colorado, the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania, and the Utica Shale in Ohio.
