RE: Focus on Well recompletions6 Dec 2022 11:17
Art not too long ago…
“To say the least they have turned into a treasure trove. We have 6 new Wells, all completed for oil production in the Frontier 2. All have perfect cement across the above Frontier 1 sands (3). Several had significant oil shows in the Frontier 1 while drilling including measured oil flow in the drilling mud at surface. Similar oil shows were logged in the Frontier 2 thus resulting in its first completion due to standard industry protocols as it is the lowest productive zone.
?Our pitch to our prospective JV partner is to recomplete these Wells for Frontier 1 production, with the first in December. All Frontier completions whether in new Wells, horizontal or vertical, will require fracture stimulation. As the Frontier 1 is quite thick (180') the design of a fracture treatment is important. It is easier to design a frac in a horizontal well in a thick zone by fracking a vertical well first.
?In our case as we have all of the facilties in place we can do this at a relatively low cost ($400-$600k) per well dependant on frac sizes currently designed. This is appealing for us and them and is something we could do independent of a JV Partner. We currently have 6 well bores that exceed the cement quality we require. Our reservoir engineer estimates initial production rates from each well to be approximately 400 bbl/d.”
First well to be worked on looks to be ‘COLE CREEK 11-27’ as pressure testing was done on 18th November.

No production from this well since 2014 on frontier formation…so again any CC recompletions which result in production will be ADDITIONAL to current production… Market you awake yet? ;)
