Drilling Activity Summary
Description
XCL Resources, based in Houston, has released details on a horizontal Uinta Basin producer in Uintah County, Utah, that was completed in March 2020. The #23-74H-21 Butcher Butte is producing from an unreported Wasatch zone flowing 161 bbl of crude, 36,000 cu ft of gas and 730 bbl of water per day. Gauged on an 8/64-inch choke, the flowing casing pressure was 3,126 psi. It is in Section 23-2s-1w and bottomed about 2 miles to the north-northwest in Section 14. The total depth is 20,405 ft (10,548 ft true vertical). The Bluebell Field well was originally permitted by Axia Energy II — Axia has permitted another 12 horizontal tests from the Butcher Butte pad, with oil objectives in the Uteland Buttes and Castle Peak.
