Canada’s Hemisphere Energy Corp. reported the results of its summer Atlee Buffalo development well, which has now been on production for more than 90 days, and an update on overall corporate production, which is currently at about 640 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), 91% oil.
Hemisphere's first horizontal well into the Atlee Buffalo Upper Mannville G pool, drilled in July, has averaged more than 60 boe/d, 100% oil, over its first three months online and has produced more than 70 boe/d, 100% oil, during the first half of November.
The new well continues to show stable production rates. A planned multiwell battery will be built in conjunction with further development of the Atlee Buffalo pool.
Hemisphere said the success of the well demonstrates that the use of horizontal wells with slotted liners to control sand production, in combination with enhanced oil recovery through waterflood, are reinvigorating the Atlee Buffalo pool, which was shut-in.
The two Atlee Buffalo pools have been mapped at 66 million barrels of original oil in place by McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd.
During the past three years in the Atlee Buffalo area, Hemisphere consolidated its land position to 100% ownership, initiated development across two pools by drilling 11 successful horizontal wells with slotted liners, implemented four waterflood pilot projects that have increased reservoir pressure and pool production, and built oil treating and water handling facilities.
Hemisphere also said it is seeing success in its horizontally developed waterflood at the adjacent Upper Mannville F pool.
