Website: ASX Code: TXNThird Eagle Ford Well Production
• 60 Day Result - 43,898 boe
• 24% more oil than EFS #1
EFS #3 - 60 Days
Texon advises that its third Eagle Ford Well, Tyler Ranch
EFS #2H, has produced 38,677 bo + 31,329 mcfg over
60 days. This represents an average daily rate of 732 boepd
(645 bopd + 522 mcfgpd) on the basis of 6mcf of gas
converting to 1 barrel of oil equivalent.
The volume of oil produced from the Company's third Eagle
Ford well over its first 60 days of production is 24% more
than Texon's first Eagle Ford well.
On the 11th of October, the Company reported a
30 day average rate for the well of 1,000 boepd. The
corrected
30 day average rate for our EFS #3 is 817 boepd, with the #3
oil rate still being significantly better (some 23%)
than the Company's first Eagle Ford well over its first 30
days.
The cause of the discrepancy was a faulty oil meter which for
seven (7) days was reading above the actual rate - now
determined on the basis of oil tanker off-take volumes from
the well site. On-site personnel changed the meter but
continued to report the prior incorrect daily oil readings
for the previous seven (7) days and this resulted in the
Company reporting the wrong 30 day average.
Oil and gas measurement systems and procedures for all
Texon's Eagle Ford wells have been checked by an experienced
production engineer and are in good order. The seven (7) days
of meter error on EFS #3 is an unfortunate but isolated
incident and the well remains the Company's best Eagle Ford
producer.

Early indications using the corrected data for EFS #3 are
that the ultimate recovery from the well will be higher than
from our first Eagle Ford well, which in turn is producing
better than the 425,000 boe curve reported in the Company's
release of 24 August 2011.
Texon has an 82% Working Interest (61.6% Nett Revenue
Interest) in the Tyler Ranch EFS #2H
well.
