According to IHS Markit, #1 Falcon flowed at a daily rate of 2.784 MMcf of gas and 54 bbl of condensate from Nodosaria at 7,613-18 ft. It was tested on an 11/64-inch choke with a flowing tubing pressure of 2,584 psi. The directional gas well was drilled to 7,762 ft (7,574 ft true vertical) and is on an 80-acre lease in Section 8, George H. Burgin Survey, A-49. In 2014, the offsetting #4 Donner was tested flowing 485,000 cu ft of gas and 2 bbl of condensate per day from a Nodosaria zone. The directional well was drilled to 7,552 ft (7,509 ft true vertical). It was online for less than one year, and the well output totaled 125 MMcf of gas and 971 bbl of condensate per day. Contour’s headquarters are in Dallas.
