Lucas Energy, Inc. (NYSE Amex:LEI), an independent oil and gas company (the "Company" or "Lucas"), today announced that the Company has commenced drilling the Milton Hines No.1H well new lateral in Gonzales County, Texas. The Milton Hines No.1H well was a plugged and abandoned straight hole well that was re-entered in June 2010 when the lateral was drilled. The lateral was drilled out only about 800 feet when the well came in. A decision was made to complete the well with an initial potential (IP) of over 300 BOPD. However, the ash beds in the upper part of the lateral curve caved in and caused the lateral to seal off. The new laterals are being drilled to both bypass the plugged off portion of the well and to extend the lateral out to 2,200 feet in length. Lucas has a 100% working interest in this lateral re-drill at this point in time.
In other news, the Company has completed the Rainey Unit No.1H well as a flowing horizontal completion in the Austin Chalk formation. Testing of the well is in progress and should be reported within the next week.
