North Stockyard Project, Williams County, North Dakota
Little Creature 1-15-14H (SSN WI 27.7%)
Little Creature 1-15-14H has been drilled to a kick off point at 10,410
feet. The rig is currently tripping out of the hole to pick up the
drilling curve assembly to drill the curve portion of the well. The
forward plan is to drill the curve and land in the Middle Bakken
Formation at approximately 11,120 feet. An intermediate 7 inch casing
will be set and cemented prior to drilling the lateral portion of the
well bore in the Middle Bakken Formation to a measured depth of
approximately 19,668 feet.
Blackdog 3-13-14H (SSN WI 25.03%)
Following the completion of Little Creature well, it is currently
planned that the Frontier 24 rig will move back to the Tofte 1 pad and
drill Blackdog. This well will be a middle Bakken lateral and is
expected to follow the previously planned Swan trajectory that is the
infill location between the Rodney 1-14H well (SSN WI 27.18%) and the
Sail and Anchor 1-13-14HBK well (SSN WI 25.03%).
Billabong 2-13-14HBK (SSN WI 25.03%)
Key Energy Services Rig 370 is continuing workover operations on the
Billabong 2-13-14HBK well. To date, the rig has successfully recovered
approximately 28% of the drill pipe that was cemented in the hole.
Operations will continue to remove the drill pipe using the wash-over
assembly method.
