Miller Energy Resources released an update on its operations both in Alaska and in Tennessee.

Alaska Rework Update

The workover on RU-3 went as planned to a true vertical depth of 11,400 feet. The use of nitrogen was implemented to help facilitate the removal of fluids from the wellbore and two Tyonek gas intervals. We have determined that additional fluid recovery via tubing by annulus packers was needed to efficiently recover all workover fluids. Once completed, we expect to be able to bring gas production online from RU-3. To maximize rig time while we await the packers' arrival, we have moved Rig 35 over RU-4, nippled up and tested the BOP stack, and begun reworking the well. We anticipate this rework will take 7-10 days to complete. RU-4 previously tested at a gas flow rate of 1.4 mmcf per day.
