Index Oil and Gas, Inc. Announces Start of Drilling On Armour-Runnells
#1 in the Alligator Bayou Prospect
HOUSTON, May 1, 2008 (PrimeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) --
Index Oil and Gas, Inc. (OTCBB:IXOG) ("Index" or "the Company")
today announced that drilling has begun on the Armour-Runnells #1
well in the Alligator Bayou Prospect located in Matagorda County,
Texas. The spud took place on April 27, 2008.
Index has a 5% working interest for all costs associated with this
initial test well on the prospect. The Armour-Runnells #1 has a
planned total depth (TD) of approximately 25,000 feet and targets
gas in the Wilcox formation. The well, located northeast of the town
of Bay City, is scheduled to take approximately 180 days to drill to
TD.
Lyndon West, CEO of Index, stated, "The spudding of Armour-Runnells
#1 is an important milestone in the development of Index's high
impact portfolio. Alligator Bayou is, by a considerable measure, the
deepest and potentially largest prospect the Company has
participated in to date. The well, while not without risk, is part
of our balanced portfolio designed to maintain the Company's growth
and protect value for our shareholders, and we look forward to
participating in the drilling."
