Drilling Activity Summary
Description
A short-lateral horizontal test in Florida’s Sunoco Felda Field was spud by MKJ Exploration, marking the first new drilling in the reservoir in 40 years. MKJ began drilling the vertical part of the well, #29-4BH Red Cattle. It is in Section 29-45s-29e of Hendry County. The proposed total depth at the Sunniland Lime oil venture is 12,194 ft and the planned true vertical depth is 11,475 ft. Straddling the Hendry/Collier county line, last oil production from Sunoco Felda Field was reported in 1992. The field was opened in 1964 and cumulative field recovery is 5,200 bbl of crude, 418 MMcf of gas and 32 MMbbl of water and production is from perforations in Sunniland Lime at 11,400-11,500 ft. To the west of Sunoco Felda Field is another Sunniland Lime reservoir, Mid-Felda Field, which was opened in 1977. Reservoir production has been sporadic in recent years, with 2019 output totaling 485 bbl of crude from one active well. A directional sidetrack was permitted in Mid-Felda Field in late 2019 at #27-4C Red Cattle in Section 27-45s-28e. It has a planned depth of 11,582 ft (11,436 ft true vertical). MJK is based in Metairie, La.
