Royale Energy has confirmed a new high rate well in California’s Sacramento basin.
The McKinney well will now be placed on production for seven to 20 days.
Royale said it has achieved a sustained rate of 1,600,000 cubic feet per days after opening an initial two feet of a 65 foot interval.
A flow test was carried out and a pressure build test resulted in a total pressure of 4,165 psi.
The company said based on the thickness, pressure and areal extent of the find, it was likely to be counted as one of its largest discoveries.
The McKinney was drilled in California’s Sacramento basin last month from Royale’s 3-D seismic data.
