BNK Petroleum Inc., Camarillo, Calif., said it encountered hydrocarbon shows comparable to the company’s best wells while drilling the Brock 4-2H well in the Caney shale oil acreage in Tishomingo field in the SCOOP region in Oklahoma. The BNK-operated well (77% working interest) was drilled and cased and is awaiting completion.
The major oil company that owns the minority interest in the well is preparing to drill the Anderson 1-5H10X3 well, in which BNK has a 33% working interest. The Anderson 1-5H10X3 is a planned 2-mile lateral also targeting the Caney formation and offsetting the Brock 4-2H well. The well is expected to be spudded on Sept. 24.
The completion of the Brock 4-2H well is scheduled to begin after the casing has been set in the Anderson 1-5H10X3 well to avoid the hydraulic fracturing interfering with the drilling of the Anderson well. The companies are coordinating scheduling of simultaneous fracture stimulations once the Anderson well drilling rig has been released.
“Based on everything we’ve seen, we expect the Brock 4-2H well to be another of our top performing wells once the well has been fracture stimulated,” said Wolf Regener, BNK Petroleum president and chief executive officer.
