TransCoastal Chooses First Three PUD Locations as Core Resources Funds Joint Venture

DALLAS, Aug. 14, 2014

The three locations, known as the LJL Farms 223, 226 and 227, were handpicked by TransCoastal's management team based upon the historical success of their recent completions and currently producing wells in the same field.  The anticipated spud date for the first well is early September.

"We are excited about this new drilling partnership. If these three wells come in anything like the wells we drilled last year in this same field, it will be a great start for both companies," said Andy Westmoreland, President of Operations for TransCoastal. "We are eager to begin drilling these new wells."
