CLR's Steele Federal Wells Starting To Produce -- March 20, 2020

It took a while, but here we go. From a note last August:

August 5, 2019: the CLR Steele wells in Banks oil field, #31520 - #31523, inclusive; #27550; #27551;

This page won't be updated; these are tracked at that link above.

These wells are still listed as SI/NC (DUCs) but they have been fracked and have now reported initial production. These are going to be huge wells:

The wells (the new ones plus the older ones):

• 31520, SI/NC, CLR, Steele Federal 5-24H1, extrapolates to 37K; fracked 12/14/19 - 12/23/19; 8.2 million gallons of water; 87.8% water by mass; friction reducer, 0.06636;

From the file report, #31520:

• spud: June 1, 2019
• TD: July 16, 2019
• TD: 22,157 feet
• a three section lateral, Three Forks first bench, see note below
• vertical
• target of 11,199' TVD; five trips; began June 1, 2019; official logging began at 8,750' on June 5th
• KOP: reached at 10,720' MD
• curve: began June 7, 2019; drilled in 14.5 hours;
• lateral: Cyclone 35 drilled out of the shoe on the morning of July 12, 2019
• encountered many hard streaks (sic; strikes?)
• TD reached at 01:55 hours on July 16, 2019 (slightly less than four days)
• 100% of the footage in the target zone; and 100% within the first bench;

From the file report, #31521:

• spud: May 21, 2019
• TD: July 9, 2019
• TD: 21,899 feet
• a three-section lateral, middle Bakken; see note below;
• official logging began at 8,750 feet on June 11, 2019
• target of 11,126' TVD for the vertical
• curve began just after midnight on June 14, 2019; one trip; casing/cement completed June 16, 2019
• drilled out of the shoe on the morning of July 7, 2019
• TD: July 9, 2019, 17:57; one BHA run; 
• drilling time for the lateral: an astounding 2.5 days
• within the target zone 100%
• background gas averaged 781 units throughout the lateral; highest gas observed was 5,410 units at 21,021' MD during connection/downtime gas;

Note: they call these "three-lateral" wells which led me to believe they were extended long reach wells, but it appears they are the typical two-section wells, but are sited in a "third section" so as to get the full lateral within the two-section lateral.
