Rango Energy, Inc. says that as of 6am Pacific Time, June 10th 2013, drilling has reached a depth of 5,761 feet on the planned 13,000 foot first well at the Kettleman Middle Dome (KMD) project. The project covers over 11,300 acres of a producing oil field sandwiched directly between two giant 400+ million barrel fields in the San Joaquin Basin, Central California.

Craig Alford, PGeo and VP of Exploration of Rango Energy, currently at the drill site, stated, "We are very pleased with the progress to date. The original timeline for this well was 54 days but it looks like we may be able to complete sooner." Rango's operational partner, Hangtown feels confident on an accelerated timeline if no mechanical issues occur during drilling.
