Royale Begins Production from Two Wells (CRC RVGU #8-1 and 8-2) in the Rio Vista Gas Field
Royale Energy, Inc. (OTCQB: ROYL) announced that the company has begun production from its two recently completed Rio Vista wells, CRC RVGU #8-1 and CRC RVGU #8-2. Both wells have a combined target production rate of 3,000 Mcf per day.
Rio Vista is the largest natural gas field in California, producing over 3.5 Tcf of natural gas. Royale and its partners used 3-D seismic to identify some deeper productive sands in the Martinez formation. After the success of its CRC RVGU #8-1 in September with over 100 feet of stacked net pay, the company successfully drilled and completed the CRC RVGU #8-1 well in October.
The company and its partners plan to drill at least 3 to 4 more development wells within this area of the field.
