Bill Armstrong's Lagniappe Alaska is returning to the eastern North Slope this winter to drill the Sockeye-2 exploration well on state of Alaska acreage approximately 8 miles southeast of Badami, within the Lagniappe-operated oil and gas lease block.
The Sockeye-2 well surface location is approximately 1,000 feet north of the Sockeye-1 well, drilled in the winter season of 2023-24 as part of the Lagniappe Exploration Program in a search for Pikka-look-alikes east of Prudhoe Bay. The wells each targeted large 3D-defined opportunities.
