ZaZa Energy Corporation announced 30-Day production results from its east texas colburn #3H horizontal well in walker county, Texas. The Colburn #3H (API 471-30374) has achieved 24-hour peak production of approximately 808 boe/d (with NGLs), which includes 70 b/d of 53 API oil, 2,860 mcf/d of natural gas, and 262 NGLs b/d. Over the first 30 days of production, average three-stream production for the Colburn #3H was approximately 585 boe/d, consisting of about 250 b/d of liquids and 2,021 mcf/d of natural gas. It is currently producing on a 54/64 choke.

Natural gas production has been flowing to sales via pipeline since January 1, 2015, and NGL amounts are estimated based on 1,208 mmbtu gas. The well is flowing up casing, and the company expects production to improve upon installing tubing to achieve the velocity needed to lift the fluids. During completion operations on the Colburn #3H its 4,960' horizontal lateral was fracture stimulated in 26 separate stages with a moderate sized frac including 1,296 lbs of sand per foot of lateral.

ZaZa will be proposing higher sand volumes per foot to improve production on future wells. To date 40% of the frac load has been recovered. Pursuant to the terms of the company's East Texas Joint Operating Agreement with EOG Resources, ZaZa now has the right to propose new development wells in specific locations and maintain its desired minimum drilling pace.

Following its technical evaluation and an internal acreage high-grading campaign focused on vertical commingled development (Buda-Rose "stack and fracs"), the Company has identified more than 800 well locations on the basis of 80-acre spacing. ZaZa has proposed the following two new AFEs for Buda-Rose vertical wells to be located in Madison and Walker Counties: (i) the Carolina Reaper #1V and (ii) the Tigerpaw #1V. Each well is estimated to cost $3.5 million and deliver an internal rate of return of 30% at current commodity prices.

ZaZa expects the production results of the new wells to be similar to those achieved by the Company's previous Toby #1V (cumulative one-year production of 181,069 boe), Grisham #1V (cumulative one-year production of 190,720 boe), and Laura Unit #1V (cumulative one-year production of 135,911 boe) wells.
