Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Denver-based Storm Cat Energy Corp. completed a discovery and two delineation tests in a remote Fayetteville shale pilot project in Van Buren County, Ark., about 14 miles west of Clinton. The #31-13H Kamalmaz, in Section 13-11n-17, initially flowed 1.75 million cu. ft. of gas a day with an average of more than 1.2 million a day during two weeks of production testing. The horizontal well was drilled to a measured depth of 4,680 ft. (true vertical depth 1,652 ft.) and fracture-stimulated. It also drilled #1-12H Files in Section 12-11n-17w, about 1.25 miles north-northwest, and #1-18H Vaughan in Section 18-11n-16w, about a mile southeast. Both horizontal wells were fractured. The three tests are now shut in, awaiting pipeline connection. The pilot is eight to 10 miles northwest of the nearest Fayetteville wells in Scotland Field.
