Business Wire
Energy Partners, Ltd. ("EPL") (NYSE:EPL) today announced
preliminary results on the Raton South prospect, its third
deepwater well in the Gulf of Mexico. The well, located in
Mississippi Canyon Block 292, was drilled to appraise the deep
section encountered in the Mississippi Canyon 248 #1 Raton well.
The Raton South well, located in 3,400 feet of water, was drilled
to a total measured depth of 20,913 feet. While it is premature to
estimate resources, the well encountered hydrocarbons in two sand
intervals. Raton South has been temporarily abandoned pending
further technical evaluation. The first production planned in this
development area will be from a natural gas interval discovered in
the Raton well last year, with production commencing in late 2007
or early 2008. Noble Energy, Inc. (�Noble Energy�) (NYSE: NBL) is
the operator of Raton and Raton South with a 50 percent working
