The New Hope unit holds a recently drilled test well that targeted the Swastika sand. This formation produced over 500,000 barrels of oil from the nearby Glenn Thomas Field. The New Hope #1 test well was drilled to target depth on March 14th and encountered 30' of highly porous Swastika sand. It's now believed that additional target sands are available, therefore, the company has begun a seismic data reprocessing project to aid in more precisely pinpointing additional drilling locations in all three units.
