Description

A horizontal Three Forks producer in the Williston Basin by WPX Energy Rocky Mountain initially flowed 5.628 Mbbl. of oil equivalent per day (81% oil). The #34-27HW Young Bird is in Section 34-150n-94w of McKenzie County, N.D. The discovery initially flowed 4.424 Mbbl of 42-degree-gravity oil, 3.726 MMcf of gas and 3.205 Mbbl of water per day. It was drilled northward to 21,013 ft, 11,106 ft true vertical, and bottomed in Section 27-150n-94w. The Oklahoma City-based company tested the well on a 36/64-in. choke after 50-stage fracturing between 11,347 and 20,884 ft in a Three Forks lateral. The flowing casing pressure was 2,300 psi.
