NEWS RELEASE
ZAZA ENERGY ANNOUNCES EAST TEXAS JV WELL COMPLETION
HOUSTON, TX (August 7, 2014) ZaZa Energy Corporation (ZaZa or the Company) (NASDAQ:ZAZA) today announced the completion of its East Texas JV McAdams Cattle Company 1H horizontal well (McAdams 1H) in Walker County, Texas. The well has achieved 24-hour peak production of approximately 1,786 boe/d (with NGLs) and 1,249 boe/d (without NGLs), which includes 459 b/d of 49 API oil, 4,740 mcf/d of natural gas, and 569 NGL b/d.
Over the first two weeks of continuous flow back, average production was approximately 1,087 boe/d (with NGLs) and 768 boe/d (without NGLs), consisting of about 300 b/d oil, 2,812 mcf/d of natural gas, and 337 NGL b/d. Natural gas production has been flowing to sales via pipeline since July 16, 2014. NGL amounts are estimated based on 1,260 mmbtu gas analysis, and the preceding results reflect a current gas processing recovery ceiling of 120 barrels per mmcf/d. The wells production is from perforations along the lateral at 11,415-16,250 feet. Over this period, water production has averaged approximately 2,269 barrels per day.
President and CEO Todd A. Brooks stated, While the McAdams 1H continues to cleanup with only 13% of fracturing load water recovered over the first two weeks, the well has flowed strongly on a 38/64ths choke. After two weeks it was flowing with strong reservoir and bottom hole pressure about 1,350 psi flowing tubing pressure and 3,350 psi casing pressure. This well was completed in the highly fractured Buda carbonate reservoir system, which has decades of historical production from conventional vertical hole completions and open-hole horizontal wells. Due to the nature of this reservoir, ZaZa also expects to see substantial load water recovery of 80% or higher. While the McAdams 1Hs initial performance highlights the benefits of advanced drilling and multi-stage completion technologies, these results are very preliminary, and ZaZa remains cautious about making any early EUR projections based on the initial data. We look forward to providing further updates as material developments occur in our JV.
