Winchester Energy (ASX:WEL) has recovered oil from the White Hat 21#1 well in Nolan County, Texas, which is located just 2 kilometres northeast of the White Hat 20#1 discovery well.

The operator has ordered production equipment for the well and will set a removable casing plug and move up the casing to perforate and test a second interval in the Ellenburger Formation.
