FIG Tree Capital Ventures Announces Three Successfully Completed Bakken/Three Forks Shale Wells Drilled From a Single Pad in McKenzie County, North Dakota
(PRWEB) September 17, 2014 -- FIG is pleased to announce the successful completion of the Hoffman 149-98-14-23-2H, the Hoffman 149-98-14-23-3H, and the Hoffman 149-98-14-23-10H. The Newfield Exploration (NFX) operated wells were drilled from a single pad site located in T149N, R98W, Sections 14&23 of McKenzie County, North Dakota. On July 30th through August 2nd of this year, The Hoffman 2H and 3H were completed in the Middle Bakken Formation, and the Hoffman 10H was completed in the Three Forks Formation.
“We are very pleased with the results of the recent Hoffman 2H, 3H, and 10H completions on our McKenzie leasehold, said Richard B. Main, the company Founder/President. Newfield was a pleasure to partner with and extremely efficient in the drilling process. These wells will be great additions to our inventory and we look forward to continued success here in McKenzie.”
McKenzie County is the #1 producing Bakken Shale County in all of North Dakota with over 2300 producing wells and as a result it has been the primary area of interest for FIG.
The Hoffman 2H had a peak 24hr IP rate of 1,721 bbls of oil and to date has had cumulative production of 27,036 bbls of oil and 41,717 mcf of natural gas. The Hoffman 3H had a peak 24hr IP rate of 1,455 bbls of oil and to date has had cumulative production of 25,964 bbls of oil and 44,772 mcf of natural gas. The Hoffman 10H had peak 24hr IP rates of 1,405 bbls of oil and to date has had cumulative production of 22,452 bbls of oil and 47,225 mcf of natural gas.
Ryan P. Wright, the Company CEO said, “The Hoffman wells are exciting for the company and its partners on multiple fronts. In addition to a reduced AFE cost as a result of the multi-well pad drilling, the Hoffman 10H is the first Three Forks well in this Drilling Unit, which proves up the reserves in an additional formation. The Hoffman 10H’s promising performance should help the overall value of the acreage and justify the drilling of additional locations.”
The Hoffman wells are the most recent completions on FIG Tree 2013 Drilling and Acquisition Fund’s 30,000 plus gross acre non-operated leasehold in McKenzie County. The Hoffman wells make the 5th, 6th, and 7th successfully completed and producing wells in the program. FIG and its partners plan on participating in 25-35 wells on the immediate leashold.
