Drilling of the Redfork 2-32 well started on Friday morning and will continue to a total depth of 1417 feet to test all potential pay zones, including all the known coals.
Total depth is expected this week, after which Red Fork will complete a full suite of logs including dual induction, compensated density-neutron and micro log.
Casing will be set through all potentially productive intervals and cemented so that each zone can be isolated for testing.
The program’s first two wells, Redfork 3-29 and Redfork 5-29, both encountered gas shows.
In addition, Red Fork reported that the 5-29 well found an additional conventional gas zone in the Prue Sand, which it said had “very good” production potential.
Depending on the weather, Red Fork has contracted to drill a further two wells at the Osage project this month.
These wells – Redfork 1-18 and Redfork 1-20 – will test deeper conventional oil and gas zones, as well as the shallower coals.
