HOUSTON, Apr. 23 – Castle Resources Inc. has spud the Clark-3 well targeting the Topeka and Lansing-Kansas City formations in western Kansas.

The well, in 32-8s-28w, Sheridan County, is projected to 4,200 ft in 7-10 days, said 53% working interest owner AusTex Oil Ltd., Sydney.

The Clark-1 well encountered oil in two formations and was completed for an initial flow on test of 250 b/d of oil from Topeka. Tests of Lansing-Kansas City formation yielded oil at the rate of 230 b/d with water. The operator plans to produce the well from both formations now that the water disposal system is in operation.
