In Kakwa, ProspEx’s Falher horizontal well at 13-8-64-4W6 (the 13-8 well) has been drilled and completed.
Following a multi-stage fracture stimulation treatment, the well flowed up a 4 1/2″ casing string to clean up fracture fluids, with a final rate of 23.4 million cubic feet (mmcf) per day at a flowing wellhead pressure of 1,017psi.
Following the clean up flow, the well was configured for production and tested up a 2 3/8″ tubing string with a final rate of 13mmcf per day at a flowing pressure of 811psi.
The 13-8 well is expected to be tied into ProspEx’s pipeline system in October, 2010.
ProspEx is the operator and has a 59% working interest in the 13-8 well, with NAL Resources holding the remaining 41%.
Two additional horizontal wells are currently being drilled at Kakwa, one by ProspEx (59% ProspEx working interest) and a second by another joint venture operator (30% ProspEx working interest).
The well currently being drilled by ProspEx is intended to evaluate the eastern boundary of the pool, while the well being drilled by the other joint venture operator is targeting a final bottom hole location immediately north of the 15-19 well.
The 15-19 well came on production in February, 2010 at a facility restricted rate of 10 mmcf per day.
