Drilling Activity Summary

Description

GRMR Oil & Gas LLC has received a drilling permit for a slant/horizontal Niobrara test in the Sand Wash Basin’s Horse Gulch Field area in Moffat County, Colo. According to IHS Markit, #24-8 Hard Twist-Federal will be in Section 24-5n-91w and will be drilled southwestward to 6,070 ft (4,718 ft true vertical). The venture is one-half mile northwest of GRMR’s first project in Colorado – a slant/horizontal producer, #19-1HA Myers, which was completed in 2015 initially pumping 246 bbl of 39-degree-gravity oil with 113 Mcf of gas per day. Production is from an unstimulated, open-hole Niobrara interval at 3,572-5,265 ft. Between November 2015 and June 2016, it produced 32.236 Mbbl of oil, 26.1 MMcf of gas and 83 bbl of water from Niobrara. GRMR Oil & Gas’ headquarters are in Broomfield, Colo.
