Empire Petroleum (NYSE American: EP) announced the successful 21,006-foot re-entry and subsurface evaluation of the Wakefield-Harrison GU B #1 well in the Fort Trinidad field, Madison County, Texas, described as a strategic milestone in its Western Haynesville gas development program.
The company drilled, underreamed, and cleaned out the legacy well to 21,006 feet measured depth (20,949 feet true vertical depth), acquired a full modern open-hole log suite, and recovered sidewall cores, with gas and liquid hydrocarbon shows recorded. This represents the deepest modern subsurface evaluation in the emerging Western Haynesville play completed with full open-hole logs and cores, reaching approximately 1,713 feet deeper than Comstock Resources’ McCullough GLR #3 and 2,398 feet deeper than Expand Energy’s Bobby Yancey #1.
According to Empire, the work was completed for about $4.4 million by re-entering an existing wellbore, compared with reported $30–$45 million costs for new ultra-deep wells by other operators. The well opens roughly 11,000 feet of previously untested section below historical Fort Trinidad development and underpins a phased development strategy targeting Intermediate Production Zones and Deep Productive Zones, supported by Empire’s owned midstream infrastructure and plans to deepen two additional wells.

According to Expand, the transaction is immediately EBITDA-accretive, initially expected to add over $200 million of projected annual EBITDA, with targeted $150 million per year of synergies by year-end 2028.
