Worthington Energy Brings I-1 Well On Line
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Worthington Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: WGAS) ("Worthington" or the “Company”), an energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and drilling of oil and natural gas properties, reports that the Company has completed the sub-sea tie in connecting the I-1 well pipeline, located in the shallow waters of Kleberg County in the Gulf of Mexico, into the Six Pigs Processing facility’s main offshore pipeline. Worthington has begun charging the pipeline and the I-1 well has been brought on line and into production mode. Worthington has a 10.35% interest in the I-1
well and a 2% override interest in the entire 1,400 acres of the Mustang Island 818 Lease position.
“I am thrilled to report that the I-1 well is active,” stated Worthington President & CEO, Mr. Tony Mason. “Last week we completed the sub-sea tie in and testing. All necessary sub-sea valves were opened and are ready for flow to begin from the hook-up to the platform. The I-1 platform is designed to handle production from the additional wells that will be drilled to fully exploit the remaining reserves in the 818 lease area."
“Now open for initial flow, we expect that it will take approximately one week for the pipeline to fully charge, resulting in gas and condensate flow reaching the onshore processing facility,” continued Mr. Mason. “As I have previously stated, initial flow rates from the I-1 well are anticipated to be low while the well cleans up from the various materials that were used in the drilling process. The well clean-up process should take between 45 and 60 days, resulting in significant production beginning in the late October or early November timeframe.

progress.”
