Continental Resources: AUS C RA SUB, North Haddens Field, Vernon Parish

Yes, that Continental Resources.  Partial sections 17-20, 3N - 11W.  Just east of the South Toledo Bend State Park, Toro Road area.

    Assuming that Continental will be chasing Austin Chalk here with a horizontal / frac stimulation effort.

    Note the well noted on SE part of the plat (Swift Sonat horizontal). Drilled and "completed" in 1992. Swift got the lateral to TD (about a 4000' lateral in the AC) after having to abandon original lateral. At TD, Sonal took over operations .

    A frac was attempted on the lateral (in slotted liner). Well only IP'd 50 BO & 270 MCF per day from the entire lateral. Well only produced about 900 BO before being abandoned. This was called North Haddens Field.

    I attached the hand written scout card for this well. No idea what this cost but it was a LOT.

    For their sake, I hope that Continental has some good data to support this effort - not a lot of well control here to support AC matrix porosity play.

      Can anyone explain what all of this means? I was able to find it on Sonris, but I don't understand it except it looks like they now have a permit to frac. Thanks.

        Thanks Skip and Rock Man for explaining the well report in layman's terms.  I did note the 49' issue but thought that was in reference to the nearby well drilled decades ago. Very interesting insight to the drilling process, their complications and plan B sidetrack. I could never have deciphered that from the report.  Good point with your concern about fracking so close to the open lateral. We'll see what the future brings. Thanks again Professor!
