Drilling Activity Summary

Description

In Wheeler County (RRC Dist. 10), Texas, Chesapeake Operating Inc. of Oklahoma City reported two horizontal Des Moines Granite Wash well completions in Stiles Ranch Field. The #11H Stiles Ranch 23, Section 23, Block A-3, H&GN Survey, A-206, was tested on a 12/64-in. choke and initially flowed 2.15 million cu. ft. of gas, 131 bbl. of 55-gravity condensate and 23 bbl. of water per day. Production from the 16,586-ft. well comes from fracture-stimulated perforations in Des Moines between 12,700 and 16,953 ft. in a north lateral drilled to 17,141 ft. Chesapeake reported respective shut-in and flowing casing pressures of 3,198 psi and 3,045 psi, and a calculated absolute open flow of 23.1 million cu. ft. of gas daily. A second well, #6H Reed 70, Section 70, Block A-7, H&GN Survey, A-8395 flowed 2.91 million cu. ft. of gas with 141 bbl. of 54-gravity condensate and 489 bbl. of water per day from a fractured horizontal interval at 12,913-16,400 ft. during initial testing. Using a 19/64-in. choke, respective shut-in and flowing casing pressures were 2,179 psi and 1,772 psi. The absolute open flow was calculated at 8.6 million cu. ft. of gas.
