Magnolia Petroleum has revealed that it is participating in three additional wells as part of a drilling programme in proven onshore oil plays in Oklahoma, US.

The company holds interests in 80 producing prospects, with a further four currently being drilled or completed, and an additional 12 planned to be spud including the latest three wells.

The first of the three wells includes the Brandt 31-28-12 1H horizontal well targeting the Mississippi Lime Formation, in which Magnolia has a 4% stake.

The second is the Otis 2-27-12 1H horizontal well targeting the same formation in which Magnolia owns a 4% stake.

Drill costs for these two wells, operated by Chesapeake Energy, will come to $3.7 million and $3.76 million respectively.

Magnolia Petroleum COO Rita Whittington said the company is continuing to build a pipeline of future wells which, once drilled, will add to its portfolio of producing wells in proven US onshore oil plays such as the Bakken / Three Forks Sanish, North Dakota and the Mississippi Lime and Hunton / Woodford, Oklahoma.
