Random Post On Madison Wells In Glenburn Area

A reader asked how long it takes to drill a well in the Glenburn area? Ballard has a wildcat in this area:
  • 27319, conf, Ballard, Fines 24-19, wildcat. Note: no "H" designation
Most of the wells in this area are quite old, and I couldn't find much information from these old wells; it was probably there but painful to go through.

But data from some more "recent" wells, all Madison wells, pretty shallow, and the horizontals are pretty short:

Three Madison wells in the area:
  • 14645: spud June 29, 1997; cease drilling July 14, 1997; 6,431 feet/4,522 feet
  • 14509: spud Dec 2, 1996; cease drilling Dec 14, 1996; 6,283 feet/4,392 feet
  • 19763: spud Oct 30, 2010; cease drilling Nov 17, 2010; 6,535 feet/3,983 feet
About two weeks in the "old days."

The depths: the first number is the total depth (includes the horizontal which are fairly short); the second number varies -- vertical depth, casing depth, or kick-off point. But generally it looks like the Madison is about 4,200 feet here and the total depth is about 6,400 feet.

Again, I go through these pretty quickly, and errors are possible. If I've made errors, hopefully folks will correct me.
