Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide an update on four of its new wells located in the Marcellus Shale in West Virginia and Ohio.
The Company has completed fracture stimulation of its three Marcellus Shale wells on the WVDNR Pad located in Wetzel County, West Virginia, the WVDNR #1207, #1208 and #1209 (100% working interest in each well), and production from these wells began to flow to sales on April 2, 2014. The WVDNR #1207 was drilled and cased to a measured depth of 12,220 feet with an effective lateral length of 3,950 feet and was completed with a 20 stage fracture stimulation. The WVDNR #1208 was drilled and cased to a measured depth of 11,744 feet with an effective lateral length of 3,875 feet and was completed with a 19 stage fracture stimulation. The WVDNR #1209 was drilled to a measured depth of 11,676 feet with an effective lateral length of 3,600 feet and was completed with a 20 stage fracture stimulation. The average vertical depth for the three WVDNR wells was 7,500 feet. The wells recently tested at the following peak rates of production:
Natural Gas Condensate
WVDNR #1207 5,014 Mcf/d 67 Bbl/d
WVDNR #1208 5,436 Mcf/d 53 Bbl/d
WVDNR #1209 5,810 Mcf/d 69 Bbl/d
Additionally, the Company also completed fracture stimulation of its first Marcellus Shale well drilled on the Stalder Pad located in Monroe County, Ohio, the Stalder #2MH (Marcellus) with a 46.804% working interest. The Stalder #2MH was drilled and cased to a measured depth of 11,767 feet with an effective lateral length of 5,474 feet and with a true vertical depth of 6,070 feet. The Stalder #2MH was fracture stimulated with 28 stages. Peak test rates during flow-back were 3,707 Mcf of natural gas per day and 312 Bbls of condensate per day. The Stalder #2MH is currently shut-in waiting on production equipment. All condensate produced from this well during flow-back was marketed and sold.
The Stalder #3UH (Utica) went back on production on March 22, 2014 at over 20 MMcf/d of natural gas on a 22/64 adjustable choke.
