Hippo #2H Reached IP 24 of 2,149 Boepd, 77% Liquids, 478 Boepd per 1,000 ft.
AG Hill #1H Reached IP 24 of 1,000 Boepd, 87% Liquids, 223 Boepd per 1,000 ft.
Meerkat #1H Reached IP 24 of 1,823 Boepd, 56% Liquids, 393 Boepd per 1,000 ft.


SAN ANTONIO, May 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lilis Energy, Inc. (NYSE American:LLEX), an exploration and development company operating in the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico, announced today that the Hippo #2H, AG Hill #1H and Meerkat #1H have reached 24-hour initial production rates.

Lilis Energy’s Chairman and CEO, Ronald D. Ormand, commented: “Lilis continues to validate our core acreage with our most recent well results. Lilis drilled our best Wolfcamp B well and we are very encouraged by our initial well results of our eastern Texas acreage and delineation of new benches. The Hippo #2H is our highest recorded IP per 1,000 ft. Wolfcamp B well Lilis has drilled to date, and also is the highest recorded Wolfcamp B, (IP per 1,000 ft) among our offset producers in the basin. The Meerkat #1H is the first Wolfcamp XY drilled by Lilis and also one of the top two wells in the Wolfcamp XY in the surrounding area. The AG Hill #1H is the furthest eastern well drilled on our acreage and exhibited an IP 24 consistent with the Wildhog and Prizehog wells, with an exceptional oil and liquids ratio and BOPD per 1,000 ft., well above the average for the basin.
“While we are extremely pleased with these well results, the Company looks forward to continued successful progress in our development and delineation efforts. Our primary focus for 2018 is delineating our acreage, both geographically and geologically, continuing to grow our production rate to meet and exceed our 7,500 BOEPD exit rate and continuing to grow cash flow toward our goal of cash flow nuetrality. We are well on our way to achieving these goals. The Meerkat #1H result successfully proves the viability and productivity of the Wolfcamp XY and the AG Hill #1H, along with the Wildhog and Prizehog, continues to validate the productivity of our eastern acreage. We have additional wells in various stages targeting the Wolfcamp XY, A and B, as well as the 3rd Bone Spring benches that we believe will provide additional delineation data points in addition to significantly increasing our production,” concluded Mr. Ormand.

Highlights:

Hippo #2H is the highest recorded IP per 1,000 ft. Wolfcamp B Lilis has drilled to date and the highest recorded among offset producers in the basin.

The Hippo #2H reached an IP 24 rate of 2,149 Boepd (77% liquids), on a three-stream basis, equivalent to 478 Boepd per 1,000 ft. The Hippo #2H was completed as a 4,497 ft. lateral with 21 stages using 220 ft. plug-to-plug spacing and approximately 1,837 lbs. of sand per ft.
AG Hill #1H is the furthest east Wolfcamp B drilled on the Lilis property, as we are continuing to demonstrate the viability of our eastern acreage.

The AG Hill #1H reached an IP 24 rate of 1,000 Boepd (87% liquids), on a three-stream basis, equivalent to 223 Boepd / 194 Bopd per 1,000 ft., a higher Bopd rate than the basin average, which is consistent in IP rates and high liquids achieved in the Wildhog and Prizehog wells in New Mexico which are geologically on strike with the AG Hill#1H. The AG Hill #1H was completed as a 4,487 ft. lateral with 21 stages using 220 ft. plug-to-plug spacing and approximately 1,767 lbs. of sand per ft.
Meerkat #1H is the first successful Wolfcamp XY drilled by Lilis, validating additional productive zones across the property.

The Meerkat #1H reached an IP 24 rate of 1,823 Boepd (56% liquids), on a three-stream basis, equivalent to 393 Boepd per 1,000 ft. The Meerkat #1H was completed as a 4,637 ft. lateral with 23 stages using 200 ft. plug-to-plug spacing and approximately 1,495 lbs. of sand per ft.
Lilis’ 2018 drilling program is focused on the delineation of the Company’s acreage. Lilis will continue to further de-risk our eastern acreage and multiple benches with well results from the 3rd Bone Spring, Wolfcamp A and Wolfcamp XY in the near future. The Company is also finalizing log interpretations in conjunction with third party providers from our pilot well test in the Howell #1H. These logs will provide updated data on our eastern acreage and are expected in the next 30 days.

Drilling:

AG Hill #2H: 3rd Bone Spring – Eastern well
Axis #1H: Wolfcamp B – 1 ½ mile lateral

Completing:

Antelope #1H: 3rd Bone Spring
Moose #1H: Wolfcamp A – 1 ½ mile lateral
Prizehog #2H: Wolfcamp A – New Mexico
Flowback:
Wildhog #2H: Wolfcamp XY – New Mexico
Howell #1H: Wolfcamp XY – Eastern well

Lilis Energy Inks Acreage Swap Deal to Lift Delaware Footing

Zacks Equity Research


Zacks•June 13, 2018


Lilis Energy, Inc. LLEX recently entered into an acreage swap transaction in a bid to upgrade its portfolio in the Permian Basin. The pure-play Permian operator is set to trade its non-operated holdings with 1,500 acres of West Texas land in the Delaware Basin. The company, with which it has entered into the swap deal, has not been undisclosed yet. Subject to satisfactory closing conditions, the deal is set for closure by the end of July.

The acquired acreage located in Winkler and Loving counties of West Texas will add more than 100 operated locations in its core holdings in the Wolfcamp and Bone Spring zones; thereby boosting the company’s working interest in the Delaware Basin by about 35%. The Houston-based upstream player will hold more than 19,000 acres in the prolific Delaware Basin. The deal will lead to immediate increase in its proved developed and undeveloped reserves.

The company expects the added assets to be highly accretive and support long-lateral developments. The transaction advances the company closer to its 2018 production target of 7,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day, which it now expects to surpass before the year-end.

Lilis Energy has been working to boost its acreage in the lucrative Delaware basin since quite some time. In March 2018, it closed a $65 million acquisition that added around 2,798 acres to its core holdings. This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company also aims at de-risking its acreage position by developing its eastern properties in Texas.

It also entered into a crude oil gathering agreement with Salt Creek Midstream, LLC in May to boost its infrastructural solutions in a cost-effective way. The project is expected to commence in 2019. Other companies bolstering their presence in the low-cost high margin Permian Basin are ExxonMobil Corp. XOM, ConocoPhillips COP and Apache Corp. APA, among others
