Drilling Activity Summary
Description
ConocoPhillips Co. announced that the company achieved a North American drilling record, as well as two Alaska drilling records, at drillsite CD5 in the Colville River Unit on Alaska’s North Slope. The CD5 pad is the first commercial oil development on Alaska Native lands within the boundaries of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A). The company’s #25-CD5 Colville River Unit, Section 18-11n-4e in Umiat Meridian, set the land-based well drilling record for longest horizontal lateral. The #25-CD5 Colville River Unit is a dual-lateral well. It was drilled to a true vertical depth of approximately 7,900 ft, and then the record-setting lateral of 21,748 ft was drilled in Alpine A Sand. Alaska state records set by CD5-25 are for total combined lateral length of 34,211 ft with one lateral in Alpine A Sand and the other in Alpine C Sand, and total combined footage for a well of 42,993 ft. Production from the CD5 pad has averaged 37 Mbbl of oil per day, gross year-to-date. ConocoPhillips will move the rig to #1-Greater Moose’s Tooth drillsite in the NPR-A. Production from #1-Greater Moose’s Tooth is expected to come online in late 2018 with approximately 30 Mbbl of oil per day gross at peak production.
