By OGJ editors
HOUSTON, May 5 -- Murphy Oil Corp. said its DC4 well in De Soto Canyon Block 4 cut 156 ft of oil pay in three zones enroute to a total depth of 13,195 ft.
The well offsets Murphy’s 2009 gas discovery at Dalmation. Dalmation, with a bottomhole location in Block 48, found 120 ft measured depth of gas pay in nearly 5,900 ft of water.
Murphy is Block 4 operator with 64.2% working interest.
