HOUSTON, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Maverick Minerals Corporation (OTC.BB: MVRM) (hereafter "Maverick" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its Texas based contractor has completed drill site construction in preparation for the drilling of the Company's Initial Test Well later this month.
The Company contracted for the provision of location services at its drill site in Fort Bend County, Texas. The construction of location services included widening of an existing 2,000 foot access road and foundational re-enforcement with crushed limestone. In addition, contractors constructed the requisite drilling pad of approximately 1.5 acres in anticipation of rig mobilization.
Maverick has negotiated a turn-key drilling contract with a major Texas based drilling company for its initial test well in which the Company is guaranteed development to its planned total depth. The Company believes that this commitment offers the best possible security to its shareholders during the development of the initial test well
Maverick anticipates that rig mobilization will occur sometime during the third week of November with a projected drilling schedule of 35 days. The Initial Test Well is designed to target the Wilcox Trend, a vast depositional sand zone with a history of prolific natural gas and condensate production. The Company intends to reach and log the primary target in the "Middle Wilcox" at a depth of between 12,500 and 13,500 feet.
