?1 Great Plains Energy completed two Lansing-Kansas City producers approximately 12 miles north of Benkelman, Neb. The wells by the Wahoo, Neb.-based company have expanded Nebraska’s Red Arrow Field on the Cambridge Arch.

The well was drilled to a total depth of 4,570 ft. and cased to 4,564 ft. after a drillstem test at 4,410-53 ft. recovered 35 ft. of muddy oil. About a half-mile north, Great Plains completed #2 Jessee in Section 17-3n-37w. It initially pumped eight bbl. of oil daily from a treated Lansing-Kansas City C zone interval at 4,406-11 ft. Total depth was 4,630 ft., and the top of Lansing was logged at 4,319 ft.

Flowing tubing pressure was gauged at 1,300 psi through an open choke. The well was drilled vertically to approximately 12,200 ft. and was followed by two horizontal laterals. The first leg extends approximately 5,200 ft. and the second about 6,500 ft. into the Austin Chalk at 11,700 ft.
