HOUSTON, July 6 – Mannon L. Walters, Evansville, Ind., completed the Darsey et al. No. 1 reentry well in 63-20s-18e, Lapeyrouse field, Terrebonne Parish, La., for 98 b/d of oil and 80 Mcfd of gas.

The flow is on an 11/64-in. choke with 600 psi flowing tubing pressure from perforations at 8,010-12 ft measured depth.

The well was drilled directionally to develop attic oil reserves and to test additional deeper and shallower sands on the upthrown side of a major fault. The geology was based on both production history and 3D seismic.

The well identified 11 pay zones, at least 3 of which had never been produced in Lapeyrouse field, along with other zones new to this fault block. The company plans more drilling in the field, which dates to the 1950s.
