?“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.
?As you can see it is quite a carrot. The field as we have mapped it has Dakota, Frontier 1 and 2 over a large area. All will be developed with horizontal Wells, including the proved and probable Frontier 2 and Dakota reserves at Cole Creek.
What is driving our prospective partner is a long term EOR project utilising a substantial CO2 resource the hold in Wyoming.”
Another nugget in a separate post from Jiddy…
“The JV discussions are continuing as is their due diligence. They have a large team working on it and we continue to populate our VDR with additional information. They are very keen as they did approach us rather than the other way around. We plan to push them along tomorrow.
They can move fast when they want to. I have done business with them before thus we know and trust each other, which is a condition of mine as well as theirs. They made it clear at the outset this was why they reached out as they tend not to deal with real estate salesmen. In addition, they know our geoscience team and one of our engineers from our previous joint venture.”
