Wellington Maricopa #6 production-tested at an average 35 barrels of oil and 120,000 cubic feet of gas a day from a 130 ft Contact Sand interval, confirming the potential pay. Maricopa #7 is targeted for the third quarter of 2008 once a rig is found.

Wellington Maricopa #6 reached 3,550 feet; electric logs indicate a potential 130 feet of oil pay in the Contact Sand, above operator expectations. It is still 'potential' until a production test within about a month; success would lead to Maricopa #7.
Sunset's first well, Wellington Maricopa #6, has spudded at Maricopa, targeting 3,600 feet in the Contact Sands. Sunset is earning 50% and pays the first US$750,000 of costs for the two Maricopa wells; a second well follows if this one succeeds.
Solimar, operator, reports the first Maricopa well, Wellington Maricopa #6, spudded 16 March 2008, targeting 3,600 feet. Sunset funds 100% of the first US$750,000 of costs on the two Maricopa wells, then costs are split 50/50 (a 13 February 2008 variation). Duplicates the company's own spud release.
December 2007 quarter: the $3.0 million IPO completed, leaving about $2.5 million cash and 25 million shares on issue. Maricopa drilling expected in the March 2008 quarter and Deer Creek in June 2008; 50% interest in each, with Solimar as operator.
12 Oct 2007capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
Sunset Energy (then the company name) issued a prospectus to raise $3,000,000 via 15,000,000 shares at $0.20 each, ahead of ASX listing. Funds go to earning 50% of the Maricopa and Deer Creek prospects in California's San Joaquin Basin by funding one well on each, via a deal with Solimar Energy.
What it means for a shareholder
15.0m new shares at A$0.200 to raise about A$3.0m. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
