Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Staroil Inc. has filed a permit with the BLM to drill a wildcat in Hot Springs County, Wyo. The agency did not release drilling objectives or proposed total depth for #1 Staroil, which will be in Section 28-43n-93w and on the southern edge of the Big Horn Basin. The Red Springs Field discovery was completed on an anticlinal feature in 1957 at a workover of a 1,205-ft dry hole at #3 Government in Section 28-43n-93w. According to IHS Markit, the field opener initially pumped 28 bbl of oil daily from an acidized Madison zone at 955-75 ft. Delineation drilling in the 1960s and 1970s resulted in new pay discoveries in Phosphoria, Tensleep, Amsden and Big Horn. The field was abandoned in 2017 after producing 239 Mbbl of oil and 158 Mbbl of water from 18 wells.
