Drilling Activity Summary
Description
IHS Markit reported that Hyperion Oil & Gas LLC has filed a Notice of Staking with the BLM for a new test—the first in the field since 1986—in Ryckman Creek Field on the Overthrust Belt. The #18-1 Ryckman Creek will be in Section 13-17n-119w of Uinta County, Wyo., and no objectives were disclosed. The venture has a projected depth of 10,019 ft and is on the field’s western flank and most likely will be directionally drilled into nearby Section 18-17n-118w. The well is a twin to an 8,050-ft Nugget producer, #11 Ryckman Creek, which was completed in 1977 flowing 287 bbl of oil and 482 Mcf of gas per day from Jurassic Nugget Sand at 7,930-40 ft. Ryckman Creek Field’s primary oil accumulation is in Nugget at 7,296-8,019 ft. The Nugget Sand at Ryckman Creek Field is 815 ft thick with a maximum indicated hydrocarbon column of 515 ft — a 300-ft gas cap and a 215-ft oil column. The field also has a deeper gas/condensate pay in Ankareh/Thaynes, which is approximately 1,100 ft thick and produces from an extensive fracture system. Hyperion’s headquarters are in Cody, Wyo.
