en.Wedoany.com Reported - Galilee Energy has initiated site preparation at the Zydeco-1 well location in Acadia Parish, Louisiana, with plans to spud the well during the first week of July 2026. Current site work includes drill pad construction, excavation operations, drainage installation, and access road improvements, expected to continue through the end of June.

The Zydeco-1 well will be drilled near an old well drilled in 1950, targeting the Upper Tweedel and Lower Tweedel sandstones at a depth of approximately 9,800 feet. The well aims to prove up to 8 Bcf of natural gas and 0.5 MMbbl of condensate and oil. After drilling, wireline logging and testing will be conducted, and if results are favorable, first production could be achieved within approximately six months.

Galilee Energy Managing Director Joseph Graham stated that Zydeco-1 is the first step in building a scalable Gulf Coast oil and gas business, focusing on low-risk, near-term production opportunities. The project is located near existing infrastructure, just 1.6 kilometers from the Texas Gas Pipeline, enabling rapid commercialization.

Galilee Energy has been continuously optimizing its asset portfolio in recent years. While advancing the Zydeco-1 drilling, the company is also evaluating other exploration opportunities in the region. The company stated that drilling and completion operations for Zydeco-1 will be carried out by RFC Drilling's Rig 103, which is capable of operating under the complex geological conditions in the area. Site survey control points have been established, and excavation work is progressing according to the approved site layout. The results of this well will provide a basis for the company's further exploration deployment in Acadia Parish.
