Drilling was finished in May and the well was completed June 29 in the Mississippian zone. It was a multi-unit well with a second well, the Krackel producing about 200 Boed.
Carrera Energy, a company with about 8,000 acres of leased land in the STACK reported three other new wells, all near Watonga in Blaine County.
