2024 12 03 Open Hole Logging - Steve Richards
Good Morning Everyone!
Today is Tuesday, December 3, 2024, 6:00 am MST. At report time, we are currently rigging down Schlumberger, preparing to make a bit trip to condition the hole.
Yesterday we made two logging runs to TD at 15,712 MD TD.
We tagged up on the third logging run, just below intermediate casing @ 12,670’.
We still have three very important logging runs to make, therefore; we need to make at least one, maybe two, bit trips to condition the hole.
Will be tripping most of the day.
More to follow……….
Current plans are:- TIH with bit to TD and condition hole.
- Finish running open hole logs and taking wireline cores
- TIH with bit & drill pipe
- Circulate and condition mud to run 4½” casing.
- POOH LDDP (“Pull Out Of Hole Lay Down Drill Pipeline")
- Run 4½” production casing
- Cement
- RDMO Rig 88 to Jeffrey City yard.
Below is a brief synopsis by Steve Richards of what we know to date:
1. Key producing zones encountered on the first well (Green Mountain Federal #4) are all present in the Found Soldier Federal #1 (1,700’ to the NW).
2. Shannon 5 target zone is ~110’ thick, which is close to that predicted by seismic. This means our seismic interpretation is confirmed and realistic.
3. Shannon 5 thickness goes from 110’ here to 140’ at the Green Mountain well and becomes 180’ thick South of that well, therefore;
Our planned 2025 horizontal drilling from North to South should be very good producers.
4. Lance zone is thinner, as predicted by seismic, but still has good reservoir quality and gas shows.
5. A new zone in the Shannon 1 is present that gave us one of our largest gas spikes in the well.
This zone looks to be a laminated sand and is ~170’ thick. This is a new target that was not present in the first well.
6. Initial images recorded show that there are fractures in the Shannon 5 target.
7. Initial images also show the stress direction is east/west, which means we will drill the horizontals North/South. This is the same as the Green Mountain well.
Still to come are the sonic (fracture log / Frac design log), FMI imager, Lithoscanner (lithology), Magnetic resonance (permeability), and 75 cores.
We will be logging for at least the next 2 days.
Estimated 8 to 10 days remaining on location.

Enjoy!!
