Miller Energy Resources, Inc. says that its WMRU-2 Sidetrack (WMRU-2B) well has been completed and was successfully brought online on June 7, 2014. After clearing the well of drilling fluids from the sidetrack, a subsequent well test showed an initial seven day average production rate (IP) of approximately 630 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), with a water cut of 63%.

"WMRU-2B has increased the WMRU field wide production by over 50% and the IP rate is substantially above what we originally anticipated," commented David Hall, Miller's Chief Operating Officer. "Furthermore, given the initial strong reservoir pressure, we think WMRU-2B will continue to exceed our original assessment as it stabilizes."
