AER Drilling Data....Here's some data I just picked off the AER's Horizontal Well List on RMP's Gold Creek area HZ's:
| | WELL NAME | LIC # | SPUD | FIN DRLG | TD (m) | TVD (m) |
| | RMP HZ ELM 4-18-68-2 | 480159 | Jan 9/17 | Jan 26/17 | 4935 | |
| | RMP HZ ELM 3-22-68-3 | 478480 | Jan 5/16 | Jan 24/16 | 4233 | 2198 |
| | RMP HZ ELM 4-30-68-3 | 480911 | Dec 2/16 | Jan 4/17 | 4523 | |
Since finished drilling dates are given it appears that the 4-18 and 4-30 wells are both drilled to TD but the time between spud and finished drilling for 4-18 of 17 days is shorter than the 32 days given for the 4-30 well in spite of being 412m longer. I'm used to HZ's in the 5000m measured depth range to being 30+ days so I wonder if the finished drilling date is correct. Still it's great to see the increases in Total Depths from the first well to the last well of roughly 700m. Assuming a landed depth of ~2600m MD that would give lateral lengths of 1600m increasing to 2300m. I would expect a somewhat linear increase in rate and reserves to go with that assuming uniform drainage (using tonnes/meter of proppant placed as a proxy).
It will be very interesting to see the next operations update.
