?1 IHS Inc. reports that Mid-Continent Energy Corp. of Wichita has production from a Central Kansas Uplift well south of St. John, Kan. The #1 Curtis, in Section 28-24s-13w, southern Stafford County, produced 5,355 bbl. of oil in approximately six weeks. The project was set up as a 4,200-ft. test to Arbuckle. The new producer is in an area of abandoned Lansing-Kansas City and Arbuckle wells in the southwestern lobe of St. John Field. The field, discovered in 1935, has produced 4 million bbl. of oil from the Arbuckle and Lansing-Kansas. In addition, it made 154 million cu. ft. of gas from Permian Chase at 1,800 ft.

2 Delineation test results showed 533 bbl. of oil and 2.2 million cu. ft. of gas daily in the Renee Field region of the Hugoton Embayment in southwestern Kansas. Located about four miles northeast of Rolla in Section 27-33s-39w of Stevens County, EOG Resources Inc.’s #27-3 Central Plains was drilled to a depth of 6,000 ft. in July 2008 and produced 1,584 bbl. of oil from an undisclosed Morrow interval that month, with August 2008 tallies of 10,832 bbl., and September totals of 15,987 bbl. The plugged-back depth is 5,915 ft., but all other information regarding the well was filed confidentially with the state. Houston-based EOG has two other recent Morrow producers in the area; #28-2 Renee and #28-1 Renee, both in Section 28-33s-39w.
