Description

On the Carlsbad Shelf of the Permian Basin, a horizontal Lea South Field well has been completed by Midland, Texas-based Caza Oil & Gas Inc. in Lea County, N.M. The well, #001H Desert Rose 17-8 Federal Com, was drilled to 19,215 ft, 11,285 ft true vertical, in Section 17-20s-35e. Production is from fracture-stimulated perforations at 11,616-19,121 ft in Third Bone Spring. The initial flowing potential was 454 bbl of 36-degree-gravity oil, 501 Mcf of gas and 446 bbl of water per day. During testing on a 28/64-in. choke, the flowing tubing pressure was 580 psi. The lateral bottomed within 2 miles to the north in Section 8.
