"In addition to creating development opportunities associated with the Copperline Property, this result has de-risked a large portion of our Bone Spring acreage in Lea County. Production from the Caza Ridge well should significantly increase Caza's oil to gas production ratio, while adding additional cash flow and reserve value to the company," he added.

The group said it is now drilling the horizontal section of its operated Forehand Ranch test well in Eddy County, also in New Mexico. This should reach its targeted depth within the week, after which a fracture stimulation date will be set.
