Drilling Activity Summary

Description

IHS Markit reported that ConocoPhillips Co. has completed the first Austin Chalk well in the company’s horizontal program in East Feliciana Parish, La. The #1 McKowen is producing 60 bbl of 36.4-degree-gravity crude, 34 Mcf of gas and 3.498 Mbbl of water per day from perforations at 15,048-18,745 ft. Gauged on a 24/64-in. choke, the flowing casing pressure was 1,748 psi and the shut-in tubing pressure was 4,806 psi. It is in Section 58-3s-1w and was drilled to 19,161 ft in a sidetracked hole that bottomed about 1 mile to the southwest in Section 61 with a true vertical depth of 14,990 ft. The Houston-based operator’s completion has opened a new pool in Freeland Field, a Tuscaloosa reservoir last active in 1988.
