2024 12 04 Logging Instruments Part 1 - Steve Richards

Today is Wednesday, December 4, 2024, 6:00 am MST. At report time, we are currently POOH with bit and reamer BHA used to clean and 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.
It should be out of the hole and running logs by Noon today.
Will be logging most of the day.
 
More to follow……….
 
Current plans are:

1. Finish POOH with bit and cleanout BHA.
2. Finish running open hole logs and taking sidewall cores
3. TIH with bit & drill pipe
4. Circulate and condition mud to run 4½” casing.
5. POOH LDDP (“Pull Out Of Hole   Lay Down Drill Pipeline")
6. Run 4½” production casing cement
7. 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 horizontals 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 sidewall cores.
Will take rotary sidewall cores on the first run, then continue with sonic logs.
 
Today’s video topic focuses on the actual logging tools run in the Hole (Part 1) by Steve Richards.

 

Enjoy!!
