Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Two Piceance Basin horizontal gas producers, one from the Mancos and one from the Niobrara, were announced by Terra Energy Partners LLC in Garfield County, Colo. The #704-32-9-HMB2 GM, Section 4-7s-96w, flowed 5.4 MMcf of gas per day on completion. Production is from a horizontal Mancos lateral drilled to the southwest to 15,410 ft at a bottomhole location in Section 9-7s-96w. The true vertical depth is 9,072 ft. It was tested on a 23/64-in. choke after 28-stage fracturing between 9,755 and 15,171 ft with a flowing tubing pressure of 3,218 psi and a flowing casing pressure of 3,907 psi. Within one-quarter mile to the west in Section 4-7s-96w, #702RD-4-HN1 GM-Federal flowed 4.53 MMcf of gas per day from Niobrara. It was tested in a horizontal lateral at 10,650-16,702 ft after 24-stage fracturing. The lateral was drilled to the southeast to 17,000 ft, 9,934 ft true vertical, and bottomed in Section 9-7s-96w. Terra is based in Parachute, Colo.
