Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Oklahoma City-based Continental Resources Inc. reported results from a three-section Three Forks producer on the Nesson Anticline in Williams County, N.D. The #8-1H1 initially flowed 1.833 Mbbl of 41-degree-gravity oil, 2.576 MMcf of gas and 3.103 Mbbl of water per day. The discovery is in Section 1-156n-95w and production is from a nearly 3-mile long lateral in Three Forks extending from 10,281 ft southward to 26,291 ft at a bottom-hole location in Section 13-156n-95w. The true vertical depth is 10,248 ft. It was tested on a 36/64-in. choke following 50-stage fracture stimulation and acid cleanup between 10,281 and 26,291 ft. According to Continental, the Pleasant Valley Field well is a “strategic stepout” and one of the company’s first tests of its optimized completion technology. It outperformed the company’s legacy well in the vicinity by 145% at 120 days and a two-mile legacy well by 100% at 60 days.
