HOUSTON, June 23 -- Foothills Resources Inc., Bakersfield, plans to drill two wells this summer in Grizzly Bluff gas field in Humboldt County southeast of Eureka in the Eel River basin.
Foothills Christiansen 3-15 is projected to 4,300 ft. The location is 800 ft south of the Forexco Christiansen 1R-15, which has produced 400 MMcf of gas since going on line in early 2004.
Foothills Vicenus 1-3 is projected to 5,900 ft at a spot 1 mile west of Foothills Christiansen 3-15. This location is also 1,000 ft southeast of a well drilled in 1964 that tested 2.5 MMcfd. Vicenus 1-3 will test deeper zones and the same zones as the abandoned well, which never produced commercially.
Both of the Foothills wells, the first wells to be operated by the company, will be on existing pads that have gas pipeline connections in place.
Grizzly Bluff field is producing about 500 Mcfd of gas, the company said (OGJ, May 10, 2004, p. 34).
