"Garcia 3 – Last evening the tubing was swabbed down to 1100 feet and shut in for the night. The fluid level was to surface when the rig starting swabbing this morning. Swabbing operations started producing "live oil" with natural gas coming into the well bore along and some formation water. This provides an indication the formation has virgin pressure in the well. This morning the oil cut has increased to estimated 12% oil in each barrel of fluid brought to surface. Each additional swab run is producing more natural gas and more "live oil". Entry rate has increased from approximately 1 barrel per hour to 3.5 barrels of fluid per hour with steadily increasing oil percentage. The Garcia #3 is turning around at this time producing good oil and natural gas with each swab run.

Current production of 3.5 barrels per hour equals 84 barrels a day. 12% is 10 barrels of oil per day and increasing," States Dan Polk of Progas Services Inc.
