Gulfport Energy Reports More Good Results From the Utica Shale

By -

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gulfport Energy Corporation (GPOR) today announced production results on its Clay 1-4H and Stutzman 1-14H wells in the Utica Shale.
Utica Shale
  • Gulfport's Clay 1-4H tested at an average sustained 12 hour rate of 747 barrels of condensate per day, 5.9 million cubic feet ("MMCF") per day of natural gas, and 761 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") per day assuming full ethane recovery and a natural gas shrink of 27%, or 2,226 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") per day.
  • Gulfport's Stutzman 1-14H tested at an average sustained four hour rate of 21.0 million cubic feet ("MMCF") per day of natural gas and 945 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") per day assuming full ethane recovery and a natural gas shrink of 11%, or 4,060 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") per day.
Clay 1-4H well map
Gulfport's Clay 1-4H well was recently tested following a 75 day resting period. The Clay 1-4H was drilled to a true vertical depth of 7,806 feet with a 7,372 foot horizontal lateral. The well tested at an average sustained 12 hour rate of 747 barrels of condensate per day and 5.9 MMCF per day of natural gas. Based upon composition analysis, the gas being produced is 1,258 BTU rich gas. Assuming full ethane recovery, the composition above is expected to produce an additional 129 barrels of NGLs per MMCF of natural gas and result in a natural gas shrink of 27%. In ethane rejection mode, the composition is expected to yield 55 barrels of NGLs per MMCF of natural gas and result in a natural gas shrink of 14%. Gulfport currently anticipates it will begin flowing the Clay 1-4H into a sales pipeline at the beginning of April.
Stutzman 1-14H well map
Gulfport's Stutzman 1-14H well was recently tested following a 12 day resting period. The Stutzman 1-14H was drilled to a true vertical depth of 9,020 feet with an 8,634 foot horizontal lateral. The well tested at an average sustained four hour rate of 21.0 MMCF per day of natural gas. Based upon composition analysis, the gas being produced is 1,078 BTU gas. Assuming full ethane recovery, the composition above is expected to produce an additional 45 barrels of NGLs per MMCF of natural gas and result in a natural gas shrink of 11%. In ethane rejection mode, the composition is expected to yield 12 barrels of NGLs per MMCF of natural gas and result in a natural gas shrink of 9%. Gulfport currently anticipates it will begin flowing the Stutzman 1-14H into a sales pipeline at the beginning of June.

Fracktivist in Dimock Releases Carefully Edited Video, Refuses to Release the Rest

From Energy in Depth: There is something very strange going on along Carter Road, in Dimock, Pennsylvania, and I’m not speaking of natural gas, methane migration, contamination, litigation or even the extensive water testing there by the EPA and others.  No, I’m talking about a new “Watergate” conspiracy, complete with 18 minutes of missing tape (well, video, actually). It seems the ever-present Green Party member and  naturist   Vera Scroggins  (a/k/a  Vera Duerga ) has posted a video of Craig Sautner meeting with the EPA.  Mysteriously, the video is but 14 seconds in length, cutting off conversation in what is obviously mid-stream.  It raises a question Craig Sautner, like  Ronald Reagan in Kings Row , might have asked, “Where’s the rest of me?’  Carter Road, isn’t Kings Row, of course, (at least not until you arrive at  the mansion Scott Ely, one of the Dimock litigants, is building with his royalty money ), but there appears to be...

The Second Largest Oil and Gas Merger - Cabot and Cimarex

By -

       Due to investor pressure, the U.S shale drillers are being pushed to improve financial and operational performance after a few years of poor returns. Even though the industry has improved its numbers, when compared to last year, investors still want more to be done for them to earn more money.      That's why two mid-tier shale drillers, Cabot and Climarex, have decided to merge in order to eliminate $100 million in annual costs, which means more money for the investors. This all-stock transaction is valued at about $7.4 billion, which is relatively high for the oil and gas sector.      The new entity will be renamed and the headquarters located in Houston, Texas. Cabot shareholders will own 49.5 percent of the new entity, and Climarex the rest.       The Cimarex-Cabot merger will address the investor's demand for a higher amount of returning cash. The initial plan is to pay a 50-cent-per-share special dividen...

Do You Know The History of Fracking?

By -
Image
  In 2018, 59% of total oil production in the U.S came from hydraulic fracking, which means it accounted for more than two-thirds of domestically manufactured gas. By 2024, fracking will reach an astounding $68 billion market value! Of course, fracking is not a new drilling method as you can trace it back hundreds of years. That's why we want to consider the history of hydraulic fracturing (fracking). We will be stating historical facts about it and focusing on the major historical occurrences that have influenced modern-day fracking. Pre-Fracking Days The idea of fracking started back in 1862 when Edward A.L. Roberts (Civil War veteran) witnessed Confederate soldiers exploding artillery rounds into a canal that obstructed a battlefield. At the time, Edward A.L. Roberts called it superincumbent fluid tamping. On April 26th, 1865, Edward A.L. Roberts began experimenting with exploding torpedoes, which consisted of lowering a torpedo containing an amount of powder from fifteen to tw...
