Milagro participated with Devon in the drilling of a Barnett Shale high yield gas well in Wise County, TX, and the completion of one 2011 carryover well. The well drilled in the first half of 2012 is currently waiting to be fracked. The 2011 carryover well had an initial production rate of 3.2 MMcfpd. Since the end of the second quarter of 2012, a third well has been drilled and is currently being completed.
