Burleson Energy Ltd. (ASX: BUR) advises that the Nabors 456 rig was drilling ahead in the Truchard #2H well and had drilled 463 feet (141 meters) of the planned 2,300-feet (700-meters) long horizontal section.
T2H is the fourth well on the Heintschel gas condensate field and is the first horizontal development on the field.
The T2H well was drilled to a true vertical depth of 11,500 feet (3,500 meters) and casing was set. Encouraging results were achieved in the vertical section with 36 meter of net hydrocarbon charged reservoir confirmed by electric logging.
The second phase involves drilling the horizontal section. After cutting a hole in the casing above the reservoir at 11,120 feet (3390 meters), drilling commenced. That stage is finished and the drilling rate is expected to increase as the well drills the horizontal section within the reservoir.
The remaining work: to get the drilling completed, fracture stimulation (a six-stage frac is planned in the horizontal section), and the well on production, is expected to take four to six weeks.
