Nexera Energy Inc. has begun operations to survey and permit a new well drilling location on the Huebinger lease at the Wooden Horse project in South Texas.
The proposed Huebinger E1 well represents the next phase of drilling at Wooden Horse. Using seismic interpretation and well control, the company will drill the Huebinger well structurally up-dip from the producing Kuhn 3 and Kuhn A5 wells. The Huebinger well will be drilled to the top of the Austin Chalk formation where oil production is coming from a water drive system with low decline rates. The company is currently producing 25 b/d of oil from the formation in the Kuhn wells, and it anticipates better results from the up-dip location.
Surveying and permitting is expected to be complete within the next 2 weeks, with drilling operations to begin before Aug. 1.
