Drilling Activity Summary

Description

According to IHS Markit, Mewbourne Oil Co. has submitted cases to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission for a proposed horizontal Red Fork test in Custer County, Okla. The case seeks to create a 640-acre drilling and spacing unit for the formation comprised of Section 6-13n-16w. In addition, Mewbourne wants to drill an exception location test with its completed interval no closer than 900 ft from the west unit line and 330 ft from the north and south lines. The planned location is about four miles southwest of Custer City in a section containing three wells assigned to Custer City South field — two of them completed in Morrow, Britt and Boatwright at depths of roughly 14,100 to 14,400 ft and a Red Fork producer half a mile east of the wellbore at #36-3 Collins in Section 6-13n-16w, which was completed in 1993. In 2015 a horizontal Red Fork discovery in the section north of Mewbourne’s unit, #1-31H Carmileta, initially flowed 133 bbl of 40-degree-gravity oil, 555,000 cu ft of gas and 12 bbl of water daily from perforations at 13,762-16,120 ft after acid and fracturing. The well is one of just 14 horizontal Red Fork/Cherokee producers reported to date in the county. Mewbourne’s headquarters are in Tulsa.
