Drilling Activity Summary
Description
In McKenzie County, N.D., Stavanger-based Statoil completed an extended-reach horizontal Bakken producer that initially flowed 3.895 Mbbl of 45.6-degree-gravity oil, 9.651 MMcf of gas and 3.37 Mbbl of water per day. Located in Section 8-152n-98w, #8-5-7H Richard is producing from a horizontal Middle Bakken lateral extending from 11,451 ft north-westward to 21,943 ft, 11,202 ft true vertical, and it bottomed in Section 5-152n-98w. Following 51-stage fracturing, it was tested on a 46/64-in. choke. The new producer was drilled from a common drillpad on which Statoil has completed 12 other horizontal Bakken/Three Forks tests.
