Description
A Smackover test planned by Shreveport, La.-based Sklar Exploration could reestablish production in Castleberry Field, a one-well Alabama reservoir last online in 2018. The Conecuh County venture, #1 Myrtice Ellis 35-9, will be directionally drilled to 12,876 ft in Section 35-4n-10e. According to IHS Markit, Midroc Operating opened Castleberry Field in 2009 with the completion of #35-8 McMillan. It was tested flowing 134 bbl of 43-degree-gravity crude and 107 Mcf of gas daily from Smackover at 12,272-76 ft. Within 4 miles to the south-southeast is Kirkland Field, a Smackover oil pool opened by Sklar in 2014. Through 2019, the Escambia County reservoir has recovered 511.874 Mbbl of crude and 1.3 Bcf of gas from perforations at 12,924-13,108 ft.
