Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Three horizontal Anadarko Basin completions were reported by Denver-based SM Energy Co. in Wheeler County (RRC Dist. 10), Texas. The #7H Davis 60 is in Section 60, Block A-7, H&GN Survey, A-8783. The venture flowed 1,200 bbl. of 47-degree-gravity oil, 1.78 million cu. ft. of gas and 430 bbl. of water per day from Missouri (Cottage Grove) Granite Wash at 11,271-14,970 ft. Following 10-stage fracturing, flow was gauged on an open choke with 710 psi of flowing casing pressure. The prospect was drilled to 15,154 ft., 10,728 ft. true vertical. In the same section, #6H Davis 60 initially flowed 918 bbl. of 46-degree-gravity oil, 1.48 million cu. ft. of gas and 855 bbl. of water daily. According to IHS Inc., it was drilled with a south lateral in Cottage Grove extending to 15,200 ft., 10,711 true vertical, and fracture-stimulated in 10 stages between 11,223 and 15,080 ft. Tested on an open choke, the flowing casing pressure was 480 psi. The #5H Ruth 4 is in Section 60. This venture was drilled with a parallel south lateral and initially tested on an open choke at 10,993-15,060 ft. in Cottage Grove. The well flowed 642 bbl. of 47-degree-gravity oil, 699,000 cu. ft. of gas and 399 bbl. of water per day. The well was fractured in 10 stages and tested with flowing tubing pressure of 1,270 psi on an unreported choke size. The project area is on the northeastern edge of Mills Ranch Field at its juncture with Stiles Ranch and Frye Ranch fields.
