    Discovery made at Sturgis

    Oct. 9, 2003
    Devon Energy Corp. said the ChevronTexaco-operated Sturgis No. 1 well found more than 100 ft of net pay sands in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The well, on Atwater Valley block 183, is in 3,700 ft of water and was drilled to 25,005 ft. A subsequent side-track was drilled to 27,739 ft. Additional appraisal drilling is planned to determine the extent of the Sturgis discovery.
