HOUSTON, Feb. 28 -- Enhanced Oil Resources Inc., Houston, said the 10-2-30 well in St. Johns helium-carbon dioxide field in Apache County stabilized at 3.1 MMcfd of CO2, with 390 psi flowing tubing pressure, the highest flow rate achieved in the field to date.
The well, which made the flow from the Granite Wash and fractured basement, was air drilled with a larger hole size, and test equipment restricted the flow rate. A larger test unit was moved in. The well also had 120 ft of potential gas pay in the Amos Wash zone.
The 12-34-29 well near the northwest edge of the field was being redrilled after encountering a high-pressure gas zone above the regional seal. The significance of the new potential pay zone is uncertain, the company said.
A third rig has spud the 12-31-30 well 3 miles east of the 12-34-29 well.
