Show I M F S Completes Gas Well i iTo To Supply Utah Wyoming Colorado Wildcat Tested a at t cu ft t. t By Robert W. W Bernick Mountain Fuel Supply Co has completed a cubic foot per day gas well at end of its Wyoming Utah transmission system tern tem em it was announced Monday 1 W W. Vrr T. T Nightingale president of the utility reported that the Unit No 1 wildcat at East Hiawatha Field Moffat 1 County Colo Golo had tested cubic feet per day of high heat value natural gas Production is from the relatively relatively relatively rela rela- shallow Lance section of the formations of Upper Cretaceous Creta Greta cious age lending credence to theory that an expansive gas gasfield gasfield field has been discovered i The completion testing which has been going for a week was between and feet Mr Nightingale reported I Locate 2 Wells VeIls I He also announced location of j two more confirmation tests to tobe tobe tobe be drilled one mile northeast and andone andone andone one mile southwest respectively from the Unit No 1 wildcat Initial testing of the sands in inthe inthe inthe the Lance formation produced only about cubic feet per day But the completion testing testing testing test test- ing disclosed more than twice that volume could be obtained under open flow conditions On basis of sustained production production I tion the new well could deliver deliveran an estimated to cubic feet per day of natural gas into a transmission system However Mr Nightingale said that present lines from northwestern northwestern northwestern north north- western Colorado to a point near Church Buttes Wyo were now at capacity Waits faits Discoveries i If these two confirmation tests discover gas we will immediately immediately immediately im im- im- im mediately request permission to parallel for miles the existing p pipe pe line facilities and to get steel to bring the gas to market the executive said I The discovery at East Hiawatha resulted in part from failure of ofa a wildcat drilled to the base of the Nugget formation by bythe bythe bythe the utility This wildcat costing nearly failed to find production in the lower ver forma forma- But testing at shallower depths disclosed the new sand horizon If the sand lies in sheeted beds then an expansive field has been uncovered Mr Nightingale said The two confirmation wells will tell the tale on area of the new find however |
