Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Houston-based Carrizo Oil & Gas Inc. announced results from a Niobrara A bench completion in Section 20-9n-58w in Weld County, Colo. The #6-20 Bringelson Ranch had a peak 24-hour flowrate of 1,633 boe (87% oil) per day. The well was drilled to 9,747 ft. Additional completion details on this discovery are not currently available. According to IHS Inc., Carrizo recently began production from its first multiple-geological-bench downspacing pilot in the Niobrara play. The pilot consisted of eight wells in the company's Bringelson Ranch area in Colorado's Weld County Township 9n-58w. The pilot tested both B-A-B and B-B-B lateral orientations spaced 300 ft apart, equating to 40-acre spacing. The wells were drilled with an average effective lateral of approximately 4,000 ft and completed with an average of 14 fracturing stages. Carrizo operates the Bringelson Ranch wells with an approximate 29% working interest.
