1993 and 1994 DRILLING MOORE-JOHNSON FIELD

The locations of all the wells previously drilled through 1992 are shown on Figure 7A. An ethane magnitude contour map (Figure 7B) illustrates the basis of Axem/Murfin decisions in selecting well sites. The following are the 1993 wells that were drilled:

 

1 Marathon completed the Wendleburg #2-11 as a Morrow oil well in February 1993. This well was a direct offset to the Axem/Murfin Wendleburg #1-11 drilled three months previously in November 1992. This was the only lease Marathon held in the field area.

 

2 HGB Oil drilled three Morrow oil completions from March through July 1993 (Witt #A2, Witt #B1, Brewer #2). The wells were on the updip, west side of the field. The Witt #B1 only produced 1745 BO and is considered to be a dry Previous HitholeNext Hit.

 

3 Axem/Murfin drilled three Morrow oil wells in the north area with the Bobcat #1-2, Coyote #2, and Wendleburg #3-11. The Bobcat and Wendleburg well locations were in areas of anomalous microseeps.

 

4 Axem/Murfin drilled two Morrow oil wells in the south area with the Mooore-Johnson #3 and Moore-Johnson #4 wells. The Moore-Johnson #3 well was completed in August 1993 and was located in an area of anomalous ethane concentrations.

 

By the end of 1993, Moore-Johnson field contained 17 Morrow oil wells and extended for 11,000 feet in a north-south direction and 3000 feet in width. Axem/Murfin had completed seven successful Morrow wells without a dry Previous HitholeNext Hit. At the end of 1993, cumulative production at the field was 780,549 BO.

In 1994, four wells were drilled by three oil companies in the north area of the field. The following are the 1994 wells that were drilled:

 

5 HGB Oil drilled the Witt #A1 as a Morrow oil well in January 1994. The well location was on trend and 1500 feet from their Witt #A2 completion 6 months earlier.

 

6 Axem/Murfin drilled their first dry Previous HitholeTop in the Bobcat #2-2 in January 1994. A 700-foot offset to the southwest, however, resulted in a Morrow oil completion. The Bobcat lease, to date, has produced a total cumulative of 170,646 BO from two wells.

 

7 Duncan Energy completed a marginal Morrow well with the Lang #34-35 in March 1994. After only producing 477 BO, the well was converted to an injection well.

 

Moore-Johnson field was fully defined by 34 wells. The major extension of the field only took 24 months. This is one of the shortest development periods for a comparitive size field in the whole Morrow trend.

By the end of 1994, the cumulative production from the 19 Morrow wells in Moore-Johnson field was 980,152 BO.
