Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Flow-test results were announced from two Kentucky USA Energy Inc. completions in western Kentucky. The four-point flow tests were conducted on two wells, #1 Walker and #2 Francis Grace. The #1 Walker, drilled to 2,340 ft., yielded an absolute open flow rate of 111,000 cu. ft. of gas per day. Shut-in pressures built to approximately 753 psi. The #2 Francis Grace yielded an absolute open flow rate of 100,000 cu. ft. per day. It was drilled to 2,340 ft. and shut-in pressures built to approximately 721 psi. The four-point flow test for each well was conducted with various orifices to establish the largest flow at the lowest surface pressure. Kentucky USA Energy began drilling on its 2,200-acre leasehold in the New Albany Shale in June 2008. The London, Ky.-based independent has drilled four other wells in the development and plans call for performing four-point flow tests on these wells.
