The Thoroughbred #1 is targeting multiple potential pay zones including the Strawn Lime, Cline shale, Cisco sands, Triple M Credo, Middle Wolfcamp and Albaugh.

"The beauty of Permian Basin wells is the opportunity for multiple pay zones," said Michael Miller, Patriot Energy Founder and President. "When you consider the prolific zones combined with a multiple stage vertical frac, wells of this nature offer attractive potential, even at today's oil prices. The economics are acceptable today, and we believe prices will eventually find their way back up to a more normal level," Miller said.
