EnCana Tests Two Haynesville Shale Wells at > 28 MMcfd (4/15/10)

Included in yesterday's well test information on Sonris were two EnCana wells that both exceeded 28 MMcfd.  If added to the Hall of Fame the wells would be at positions #5 & #7.  The George Lormand well was particularly impressive since it also had a very high flowing pressure.  It is interesting to note that EnCana did not try to create a lot of fanfare since the results were not part of a press release.

 

Thanks to RedRiverGal for flagging one of the wells.

 

EnCana, George Lormand 4 #H1 Well, Serial #239966, S4-T13N-R11W, Red River Parish, 28751 Mcfd, 29/64" Choke, 8519 psi Flowing Pressure, Red River-Bull Bayou Field

EnCana, Thelma Lawson 11 #H1 Well, Serial #240237, S11-T13N-R9W, Red River Parish, 28029 Mcfd, 32/64" Choke, 7130 psi Flowing Pressure, Martin Field

Les. Definitely good wells and pressures. However aren't the choke settings greater than we usually see for these high Flow Pressures?

Skip, to me the slightly larger choke sizes were a further indication of the well strength since the flowing pressures were still high.

Agreed. It just stands out amidst all our discussions of production rate-decline-EUR whereby other operators are producing on lower choke settings. Of course, Encana could choke the wells down for production purposes later. Care to give an educated guess on the IPs if these wells were tested on a lower choke, say a 16 or 18?

Skip, just keep it mind that not all operators are going for that approach. Even Petrohawk said they were not using the restricted in some of the play.

Smaller choke - maybe 10-11 MMcfd but the flowing pressure would likely be over 9,500 psi on the Lormand well.

Les - Any specifics about particular parts of the play where restricted is NOT being used? Maybe in the vein of a "bigger scheme" idea, by township or range?

Sesport, Petrohawk made the statement but did not provide any details. Several operators such as EnCana, EOG, El Paso, Comstock, Common, Chesapeake, Devon, etc have not indicated any plans to adopt the restricted choke approach.

I can tell you about one STR (239576) well that IP'd at 25mmcfd. I don't know what the pressure or choke for the IP was. They did choke it back to 14/64, 8700#'s and has been averaging 10mmcfd since October.

Bacon, the well had an IP of 24.4 MMcfd but as you said Questar cut the rate.

Questar, Baker 7 #H1 Well, Serial #239576, S7-T14N-R11W, Red River Parish, 10464 Mcfd, 14/64" Choke, 8700 psi Flowing Pressure

haha, I round up or down when it suits me. Bad habit. 10.31mmcfd average 9/16/09 through 3/10 for a total of 2,037mmcf.

That Lormand well especially with an 8,500 plus pound flowing pressure an that size choke (29) is truly a monster. Heck, both are for that matter. I'd love to know the length of the laterals and the # of frac stages. I suspicion Encana is doing something different on the fracs.

There seems to be a lot on the SONRIS staff's plate lately. I get frustrated also but try to keep in mind that their work load has doubled, or more, and state finances do not allow for adding staff. Gov. Jindal has imposed a hiring freeze. The budget deficit is in excess of $319M and climbing. The frequency of minor errors is increasing. Here's today's example:

Yeah, no dice. Luck hasn't helped either. However, like The Baron, I was having trouble before this database overhaul as I also changed over to a new computer running Windows 7.
