News Releases Details

FRISCO, Texas, April 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Comstock Resources, Inc. (NYSE:CRK) ("Comstock" or the "Company") today announced the initial production test results of the H. Jackson #4, the second successful well drilled by Comstock this year in its Double A Wells field. This well was drilled to a total depth of 14,048 feet and was completed in the upper Woodbine formation through perforations from 13,816 feet to 13,866 feet. The well's completion was tested at 6.4 million cubic feet of natural gas per day and 480 barrels of condensate per day (9.3 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day) flowing on an 18/64 inch choke at 3,900 pounds per square inch flowing tubing pressure. Comstock plans to produce the well at a gas rate above 8 million cubic feet per day after pumping a hydraulic fracture treatment to improve the well's deliverability. Comstock owns a 51% working interest and is the operator of this new well. This well is the sixth successful well drilled at Double A Wells field in Polk County, Texas since Comstock started its redevelopment of the field in 1999. Comstock is currently planning to spud the Champion C #3 well within the next week as a continuation of its Double A Wells field drilling program.

Comstock also announced that it has finished drilling the Vastar Fee #1, an exploratory well testing the Company's Ross Prospect south of the Double A Wells field. The well was drilled to a total depth of 17,328 feet to test both upper and lower Woodbine sand targets. Electric log results indicate that the lower Woodbine targets for the well were not present, however the well did encounter potentially productive upper Woodbine sands. Comstock has begun completion operations on the upper Woodbine sands and expects to test these zones in the next two weeks.
