GeoResources, Incorporated, First Post: January 17, 2011
Due to the increased activity regarding GeoResources, I will now add GeoResources to the sidebar at the right under "Producers." Until now, I updated GeoResources under "Other Producers."
GeoResources has announced an additional share offering and seems to be on its way to being a bigger player in the Bakken.
The reason for the January 4, 2011, press release is to announce that GEOI has completed its first operated Bakken well in their new Williams County project area:
Our first operated Bakken well in our Williams County, North Dakota project area, the Carlson 1-11H, has been completed as a Middle Bakken producer in Section 11, Township 157 North, Range 103 West. The well was drilled on a 640 acre spacing unit and was completed with an 18 stage frac utilizing sand and resin-coated sand as the proppant. Our completed well cost was approximately $5.6 million. We own a 47.5% working interest in the well.
Being our first operated Bakken well, we chose to drill a 640 acre unit in order to minimize mechanical risk and ensure an adequate test of the Middle Bakken on our acreage block. Recent harsh winter conditions have hampered continuous operations, causing the well to be shut-in sporadically and also delaying installation of production tubing. The well is producing and has tested at a peak 24-hour production rate of approximately 685 BOPD, through a 4 ½” frac string, on a 29/64ths choke and with a 39% oil cut. With continuous production, we expect the well to continue to clean up and recover additional frac fluid and therefore expect the oil cut to improve. We are planning all future drilling to be on 1,280 acre spacing units with maximum allowed horizontal lengths and also intend to evaluate different frac methods (i.e. sand, ceramics and number of stages).
We have also drilled and cased the Siirtola 1-28-33H located in Sections 28 and 33 of Township 157 North, Range 102 West. This well is on a 1,280 acre drilling unit. We expect the well to be frac’d in February, 2011. In addition, we are currently drilling the horizontal section of the Anderson 1-24-13H, also on a 1,280 spacing unit, located in Sections 24 and 13 of Township 157 North, Range 102 West. Our working interests are approximately 34% and 35%, respectively, in these two drilling units. After the Anderson 1-24-13H reaches its total horizontal objective, the drilling rig will be moved to eastern Montana (see below); we expect to move the rig back to Williams County and pursue continuous development of our acreage in the early spring of 2011.
We are also participating with a 3.3% working interest in the Oasis Petroleum-operated Grimstvedt 5703 42-34H, which is located within our project area in Sections 34 and 27 of Township 157 North, Range 103 West in Williams County. The well is currently being completed.
To date, we have acquired approximately 24,000 net acres in the Bakken, representing a 47.5% working interest, within an AMI being developed with Resolute Energy Corporation and another industry participant. We are the operator for our group. Assuming full development on 1,280 acre spacing units, our group has a majority interest in and control of 40 units and has working interests in another 42 units. Where we have a minority interest in a spacing unit, we will attempt to acquire a majority, thereby increasing the likelihood that we will be the designated the unit operator.
