Bowtie West-Sugar Valley #1 Well, Matagorda County, Texas, Non Operator 12% WI
The Sugar Valley # 1 well has commenced production from the primary target in the Vicksburg sandstone reservoir (Tex-2 formation). Initial Production is 14 barrels of oil condensate per day and 1.3 million cubic feet of gas per day on a 10/64th choke. Surface flowing tubing pressure is 4,925 psi. There has also been 2 to 3 barrels per day of water being produced. The Sugar Valley # 1 well will be monitored closely at these initial settings so as not to damage the formation and also to allow any further clean up from the completion work which involved a frac pak.
Background
Based on electric logs, the primary target (Tex-2 formation) had a gross pay interval of 32 feet full to base and is highly laminated in the lower section while being 60 feet high to the down dip well drilled in the 1970s. The secondary target (Cib 10/Anomalina B sandstones) had gas shows with over 3,700 maximum gas units recorded along with heavies while drilling with a 15.1lb mud weight. So far two intervals in the shallower secondary target have been identified with 9 feet of net gas pay.
The Sugar Valley #1 well spudded on 23 March 2012 and the reached TD at 12,750 feet on
7 May 2012 (US Central time).
The Sugar Valley # 1 well is located structurally up-dip from the Bouldin-Picton No. 1 well, the key offset well for the Prospect. The Bouldin-Picton No. 1 produced 5,549 barrels of oil and 476,720 MCF of gas from a Tex. 2 sandstone reservoir in the early 1970s. The well ceased economic production apparently due to sandstone flowing into the well-bore. The Sugar Valley # 1 well has penetrated a seismic amplitude anomaly associated with the Tex. 2 sandstone up dip from the Bouldin-Picton No. 1.
