Lately accomplished technical work within the Fouke space has recognized a 30-acre construction inside the present lease, north of the Fouke 2 nicely, that’s drill-ready and anticipated to include greater than 200,000 barrels gross of recoverable oil reserves (*) within the sub-Clarksville reservoir.
