1 Hamar Associates LLC, Ojai, Calif., has applied for a number of wells, including a wildcat in Sutter County in northern California. The wildcat is the #3-25 Guisti, in Section 24-12n-2e, located a quarter of a mile south of the town of Robbins and 2 miles east of Eldorado Band Field. Hamar has permitted the #2-35 Mackert outpost in Section 36 of the same township. In neighboring Township 11n-3e, the company wants to drill the #1-19 Riverside in Knights Landing Field in Section 19. It also plans the #2-1 Mackert outpost in Section 1- 11n-23 and the #3-31 Mackert in Karnak Field, in Section 31-12n-3e, said IHS Energy. 2 Dominion Exploration & Production Inc., Houston, plans three new wildcats to Mesaverde gas at 8,000 ft. southwest of Natural Buttes Field in the Uinta Basin of Utah. The wells are in township 11s, range 20e, between 14 and 15 miles south of Ouray in Uintah County. The #14-1H LCU and the #12-1H LCU are in Section 1 and the #2-12H LCU is in Section 2. Nearest production is from shallower Wasatch in Natural Buttes Field. The nearest Mesaverde production was in abandoned Love Field, where the #2-8 Hope Unit Federal produced 36.4 million cu. ft. of gas, 2,822 bbl. of condensate and 1,617 bbl. of water in 12 years from perforations between 7,288 and 8,987 ft. 3 In remote Sevier County, Utah, Wolverine Gas & Oil Co., Grand Rapids, Mich., plans a second wildcat in a non-producing area of the Wasatch Plateau of south-central Utah some 3 miles southeast of the town of Sigurd. The company's #17-2 Kings Meadow Ranches, in Section 17-23s-1w, was proposed to 6,650 ft. but the company did not identify the target zone. The site is on the Wolverine Federal Exploration Unit, some 45 miles west-southwest of the nearest production in Ferron Field in Emery County. The latest well is a half-mile south of the company's #17-1 Kings Meadow wildcat in the same section. 4 Salt Grass Exploration Inc., Houston, has permitted a remote wildcat north of Springerville and 19 miles south of St. Johns in eastern Arizona. The #A-2 State, Section 36-10n-28e, southeastern Apache County, will target Permian Supai at 3,200 ft., probably the Apache member or the basal granite-wash zone of the Amos Wash member. The new well is 50 ft. south of the company's #A-1 State in the same section. That well was drilled and abandoned at 1,010 ft. late in 1986. The nearest production is some 60 miles to the north in Navajo Springs and Navajo Springs East fields. Those central Apache County fields produced some 2.3 billion cu. ft. of gas from Coconino and Shinarump, IHS Energy said. 5 Petrosearch Operating Co., Houston, is preparing to drill two wildcats to 6,000 ft. in a non-producing area of Valley County, Mont., approximately 32 to 36 miles north-northeast of Saco and 2 to 8 miles south of the U.S. border with Canada. The wells are the #1 Block-A, in Section 16-37n-35e in the northwestern corner of the county, and the #1 Block-B, about 8 miles to the southeast in Section 16-36n-35e. The nearest production is some 21 miles to the south-southwest in the Bowdoin Dome area of Phillips County. 6 Headington Oil Co. LP, Dallas, completed a dual-lateral horizontal well in Bakken for 1,083 bbl. of oil and 502,800 cu. ft. of gas a day with 144 bbl. of water. The #24X-14 Frasca is in Section 14-24n-54e in northeastern Richland County, Mont., about 28 miles west-northwest of Sydney. It produced 11,918 bbl. of oil, 5.5 million cu. ft. of gas and 1,584 bbl. of water in 11 days in February from one Bakken interval between 10,160 and 14,805 ft. in a lateral extending to the south-southwest into Section 23, and from 9,338 to 13,820 ft. in another lateral extending north-northwest. The well offsets the company's #34X-14 Williams discovery in the same section, completed last fall for 865 bbl. of oil, 433,000 cu. ft. of gas and 25 bbl. of water a day, according to IHS Energy. 7 Dallas-based Petro-Hunt LLC has applied for a permit for a deep, remote wildcat in western Richland County, Mont. The Cambrian Deadwood venture is in Section 12-23n-51e. The company also has asked for temporary spacing for the Interlake, Red River, Winnipeg and Deadwood formations in lots 3 and 4 of Section 7, and lots 1 and the east half of Section 18-23n-52w, and the east half of Section 13-23n-51e. The proposed well is located 4 miles north-northwest of abandoned Lisk Creek Field's discovery well, which was abandoned after producing 2,000 bbl. of oil from Red River in 6 months. 8 Zinke & Trumbo Inc., Tulsa, Okla., has scheduled a seventh horizontal well in its Slugger program in northwestern Mackenzie County, N.D. The #1-16H Maris, in Section 16-150n-102w, is 2.25 miles northwest of the company's #1-23 Ruth discovery, completed for 283 bbl. of oil and 198 bbl. of water a day from Mission Canyon to open Foreman Butte Field. 9 Minnelusa is the target for a 7,400-ft. wildcat planned by Ballard Petroleum Holdings LLC, Billings, Mont., in Campbell County in northeastern Wyoming. The company's #44-36 Longreach-State is in Section 36-55n-70w, about 8 miles northeast of Weston in the eastern Powder River Basin. The well is about 3 miles east of Victor Field, which produces from Minnelusa, and the same distance north of Ballard's #1-18 Wildhorse Creek discovery, which produced 43 bbl. of oil per day from Minnelusa "B." 10 Anadarko Petroleum Co., The Woodlands, Texas, told the U.S. Bureau of Land Management that it plans a coalbed-methane campaign in the lightly drilled Hanna Basin in northeastern Carbon County, Wyo. The pilot project is in the Hanna Draw area in Section 2-23n-81w, about 10 miles northeast of the town of Hanna. Under the plan, Anadarko would drill up to 16 coalbed-methane wells and associated facilities. If the pilot shows commercial potential, the company could develop more wells in the area. 11 Scheier LLC, Sioux Falls, S.D., permitted a shallow, remote wildcat to Cretaceous gas on the Sioux Uplift in McCook County in southeastern South Dakota, about 3 miles northeast of Salem. The company's #1 Scheier, in Section 5-103n-54w, is scheduled to Niobrara. Depth will depend on the thickness of the Niobrara. There has been no previous drilling in the county, and the nearest production is some 220 miles to the northwest at Lantry Field, which produces from Red River in western Dewey County. 12 Antelope Energy Co. LLC, Kimball, Neb., has staked a Pennsylvanian Missouri wildcat about 7 miles north-northwest of Sydney in Cheyenne County, Neb., in the northeastern Denver-Julesburg Basin. The #1-28 Federal, in Section 28-15n-50w, is scheduled to 6,900 ft. The nearest production from Paleozoic is almost 7 miles southwest in Novotny Field, which produces from Pennsylvanian Virgil, according to an IHS Energy report. 13 In a rare test to Paleozoic zones in the Denver-Julesburg Basin of northeastern Colorado, Delta Petroleum Corp., Denver, will drill the #41P Daisy in Section 29-3s-49w, about 25 miles south-southwest of Yuma in southeastern Washington County. The company also will look at the shallower Niobrara, D sand and J sand. The nearest production is from Niobrara, and nearby attempts to find Paleozoic production have yielded only non-commercial shows, said IHS Energy. 14 Murfin Drilling Co., Wichita, Kan., completed two wildcats on the Las Animas Arch in southeastern Colorado. The company didn't report volumes for either gas discovery. The #1-24 Lukie-Do, in Section 24-21s-47w, Prowers County, flowed gas from approximately 4,700 ft. The well is a mile northwest of the nearest producer in Murfin's Channing Field, which trends southeast-northwest. The other discovery is the #1-34 Santa Fe Trail in Section 34-22s-48w, Bent County, some 3 miles east of Harness Field, a Morrow pool that has produced 1.5 Bcf of gas. 15 The U.S. Minerals Management Service drew no bids for its latest oil and gas sale in Cook Inlet. The federal agency had offered some 2 million acres in federal water from south of Kalgin Island to just northwest of Shuyak Island, except for a stretch through Sheilikof Strait. The federal lands in the Cook Inlet remain relatively unexplored. That latest well in the area was drilled in 1984. 16 The Anchorage, Alaska-based division of Unocal Corp. of El Segundo, Calif., has permitted the #1 Red wildcat in Section 8-4s-13w, Seldovia Quad, Seward Meridian, in Alaska's Cook Inlet area in an attempt to add to its gas reserves in the region. The well location is 4 miles north-northeast of North Fork Gas Field and 10 miles northeast of Anchor Point, Alaska, IHS Energy said.
