QEP's KDM Wells

Updates

October 13, 2015: QEP has permits for eight (8) more KDM wells in section 7-149-95, in the SWSE quadrant.  

Original Post

 

The eight QEP permits noted above are for an 8-well KDM pad in SWSW 7-149-95. There are already several wells in this drilling unit. Note that one of the older wells in this section has already produced almost one-half--million bbls of oil.

The four-well pad to the north:

• 25567, 2,307, QEP, Dodge 4-6-7BH, t11/13; cum 187K 8/15; only 5 days of production 8/15; 19 days 7/15;
• 18361, 2,465, QEP, Dodge 4-6/7 HR, 24 stages, ~ 3.6 million lbs, Three Forks, t7/10; cum 447K 8/15;
• 25568, 2,130, QEP, Dodge 3-6-7BH, t11/13; cum 184K 8/15;
• 25569, 2,642, QEP, Dodge 2-6-7TH, t11/13; cum 187K 8/15;

The four well pad to the east of that pad:

• 25442, 1,581, QEP, Kummer 2-6-7BH, t10/13; cum 198K 8/15;
• 22193, 2,367, QEP, Kummer 1-6/7H, t10/12; cum 343K 8/15;
• 25441, 2,988, QEP, Kummer 1-6-7BH, t10/13; cum 225K 8/15;
• 25440, 2.661, QEP, Kummer 6-7-5-8LL, t11/13; cum 169K 8/15;

There is also a singleton in the southwestion corner of section 7 where the new 8-well pad will be located:

• 304040, conf, QEP, Kirkland 6-7-1-12T2HD, producing (34K in first full month)

By the way, that #16689, now permanently abandoned, was a stacked dual lateral, targeting both the upper Three Forks and the middle Bakken. Maybe I will come back to this one later. Apparently the upper Three Forks went well, but they had problems with the middle Bakken lateral and it was never (or minimally) productive. I did not see any evidence that this stacked dual lateral was ever fracked.
