(SARA) Rocky 3 Well Exceeds Expectations – Test Rates over 1.5k Bbls/Day

Saratoga Resources, Inc. (NYSE MKT: SARA; the “Company” or “Saratoga”) today provided an update on its recent Rocky 3 horizontal development well in Breton Sound Block 32 field and recompletion in the QQ #24 well in Main Pass Block 47 field.

The SL 1227-29 “Rocky 3” well, in 14 feet of water depth, was spud on May 3^rd using the Parker 72B barge rig and reached a TD of 7,178’ MD/5,818’ TVD on May 15^th. The well was completed in the 5,800’ sand with a lateral displacement of 750 feet. The Rocky 3 well tested on May 30, 2014 at a gross equivalent rate of 1,531 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”) and 240 thousand cubic feet of gas per day (“MCFPD”) , or net 1,288 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOEPD”), on 20/64” choke with flowing tubing pressure (“FTP”) of 780 psi. Oil gravity is 39.8 degrees API.

Saratoga’s other horizontal wells in the same field, drilled in 2013, continue to perform well with the SL 1227-25 “Rocky 1” well tested on May 27^th at a gross equivalent rate of 218 BOPD and 85 MCFPD, or net 190 BOEPD, on 28/64” choke, and the SL 1227-26 “Zeke” well tested on May 24^th at a gross equivalent rate of 152 BOPD and 17 MCFPD, or net 130 BOEPD, on 32/64” choke.

The Company also recently completed a gravel pack recompletion in the SL 195QQ-24 “Roux” well in Main Pass Block 47 field with the 19A sand perforated and completed between 8,943-53’ MD with the 20 sand between 9,172-82’ set up as a future plug down in the same wellbore. The 19A sand tested on May 30^th at a gross equivalent rate of 2,844 MCFPD and 12 BOPD, or net 350 BOEPD, on a 14/64” choke with FTP of 2,300 psi. Oil gravity is 57.0 degrees API.

Management Comments

Mr. Andrew C. Clifford, Saratoga’s President, said “The successful drilling and completion of the Rocky 3 development well in Breton Sound 32 supports our analysis that untapped development potential remains in the 5,800’ sand in the eastern part of the field, and that the application of horizontal drilling technology is a viable means of tapping undeveloped potential in many of our fields. We are in the process of identifying other horizontal well targets in the same reservoir and look to drill more wells in the field once we increase production handling capacity. Grand Bay field is another asset where we see a great potential for application of horizontal drilling technology. Horizontal wells make sense in areas with low structural dip, in fields with good well control and 3-D seismic coverage and in fields with strong water drive, all attributes applicable to Breton Sound Block 32 and Grand Bay fields. The initial production (“IP”) test rate for Rocky 3 is the highest rate for any of the Company’s wells to date as well as the highest rate for any well drilled to date in the field. We intend to produce Rocky 3 at a rate of approximately 650 BOEPD due to current capacity limitations at Breton Sound Block 32 field.”
