“Tract 29 is considered highly prospective as there is evidence of existing discoveries to the west extending into this area,” said Dave Wall, 88 Energy managing director in a statement.
“We have had our eye on this lease for some time and are extremely pleased to have been announced high bidder in the recent lease sale. We look forward to providing more detail on this area in the near future,” he added.
