Drilling Activity Summary
Description
A Fayetteville discovery by Fort Worth-based XTO Energy Inc. was reported to IHS Inc. The horizontal wildcat is in Cleburne County, Ark. The #1-8H Deltic Timber flowed 1.67 million cu. ft. of gas per day through acid-and fracture-treated perforations at 2,314-6,494 ft. in Fayetteville shale. On a 42/64-in. choke, flowing and shut-in tubing pressures were gauged at 294 psi and 615 psi, respectively. Absolute open flow was calculated at 2.17 million cu. ft. per day. The well was drilled to 6,587 ft. with a true vertical depth of 1,855 ft. in Section 8-11n-8w.
