Breitling O&G began the re-entry of the BREITLING-BURR #1 on May 7, 2010 in Jefferson County, Texas. The well is a re-entry of a vertical well in the Hackberry Sand formation. The well is expected to be completed within the next few weeks.

Last month Breitling announced it has acquired thousands of acres of leases in the Gulf Coast regions of Texas and Louisiana as it continues to expand its Gulf Coast Exploration initiative. Breitling identified 29 future oil and gas drilling locations within the acreage.

Chris Faulkner, CEO of Breitling Oil and Gas, said, "We are kicking off our Gulf Coast on-shore initiative with a prime re-completion prospect in the Hackberry formation and potentially fracing a new Frio pay zone simultaneously." Faulkner added, "The initial bottom-hole pressure is coming in at 9000 psi and both existing fracs are intact and not watered out."
