Chesapeake Wildcat, Schoch 21-137-97: IP -- Zero

21143, 0 (no typo), Chesapeake, Schoch 21-137-97 A 1H, wildcat, Bakken/Three Forks; t12/11; cum 0 bbls 3/12; 31 bbls in December, 2012; none since; 33 stages; 4.1 million lbs.

Fracked with a system of 24 sliding sleeves and 9 plug and perf stages; combination of sand and ceramics. This was not an inexpensive well.

Drilled down to Nisku at 10,072; Three Forks at 9,890 feet.

It was spud August 26; reached total depth on October 15 (most wells now reach total depth in less than 30 days).

*******************

From the geologist's report (paraphrased; not quoted):

Upper Bakken reached at 9,721 feet; no mention of a Middle Bakken formation.

Three Forks formation reached at 9,830 feet total vertical depth. Gas ranged from 3.1 to 68 units.

Once rat hole completed and wire line e-logs were conducted (Sept 19 - Sept 21), re-entry was made from the kick-off point on September 24. Encountered some problems with motor (x2) and computer software glitch during early horizontal drilling.

A gas spike of 103 units coincided with oil shows shortly after entering the Three Forks formation.

Another tool failure while drilling laterally on October 11.

While drilling within the Three Forks, total gas levels remained relatively low, ranging from 0.1 to as high as 234 units, averaging 13.8 units. There was no flare. "Gamma reading remained fairly consistent: from as low as 28 API to as high as 141 API."

"Oil shows were somewhat consistent throughout the lateral and were exceptional during the concluding portion of the wellbore."

I'm out of my depth here (no pun intended), but it appears the top of the Three Forks was 9,890 feet, and the bottom of the Three Forks was 10,010. If that is accurate, the thickness of the Three Forks at this point is 120 feet. But again, I could be misinterpreting the data.  (The depth numbers vary at different parts of the report.)

Note: this was transcribed/paraphrased/typed in haste. There may be typos. There are omissions.
