Random Update Of Enerplus' Snake Wells, The Featured Post At The Sidebar -- February 19, 2017

At the sidebar at the right I have something called "Featured Post." I change that link every couple of weeks. For the next few weeks the featured post will concern the "Enerplus snake wells" in Antelope oil field.

Disclaimer: in a long note like this, there will be typographical and factual errors. I often make simple errors of arithmetic. If this information is important to you, go to the source. 

There are a couple of things one should note about this area. I will come back to this in a couple of days if I don't forget.

One example of these "snake" wells:

• 26990, 3,102, Enerplus, Hognose 152-94-18B-19H-TF, Sanish, specifically Three Forks 2nd bench, three laterals; 60 days (533 hours) drilling, 41 stages; 9.7 million lbs sand; t4/14; cum 481K 12/16; add in the 780,264 MCF of gas (130,000 boe) = 610,000 boe.

This well produced almost one-half million bbls of oil (610 boe) since 2014, less than three years.

Another example, this well produced almost 400,000 bbls of oil in eighteen months:

• 26988, 2,842, Enerplus, Bull 152-94-18B-19H-TF, Sanish, t6/15; cum 392K 12/16; add in the 1,106,669 MCF of gas (185,000 boe) = 575,000 boe in eighteen months.

Monthly production for #26988:
