Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Results from a Miocene recompletion in Louisiana’s Lake Washington Field were reported by Badger Energy. In Plaquemines Parish’s Barataria Bay, #1 State Lease 20984 was tested flowing 164 bbl of 41.8-degree-gravity crude and 1.073 MMcf of gas per day from perforations at 12,279-12,326 ft. Gauged on an 11/64-in. choke, the flowing tubing pressure was 3,050 psi. The well was initially completed as a gas well in 2014. The directional well produced 3.041 MMcf of gas and 304 bbl of condensate daily from a deeper Miocene zone at 12,410-34 ft. Well production during one month online was 74 MMcf of gas and 8.981 Mbbl of condensate before apparently being shut in. It was drilled to 14,682 ft in Section 32-19n-26e and the true vertical depth is 13,420 ft. Badger’s headquarters are in Lafayette, La.
