  2. Deterministic Volumetrics using Well Log Analysis Wattenberg Energy LTD E/2 Sec. 12, T1S, R64W – 320 Acres Adams County, Colorado Codell Potential The Codell Sandstone in the Wattenburg area is a bioturbated, silty, shaley, very fine grained sandstone. Due to a high clay matrix, the sand has low porosity and permeability. The study area, E/2 Sec. 12, T1S, R64W, lies near the axis of the Denver Julesburg Basin (Figure 1). Most productivity in the Codell Sandstone lies near this axis. Figure 2 shows the position of the Codell Sandstone in the stratigraphic column. It is Upper Cretaceous in age and is a member of the Carlile Shale. It overlies the Blue Hill Shale and is overlain by the Ft. Hays Limestone. Both contacts are unconformable. Density log porosity measurements range from less than 8 to 22%. Core measurements have indicated that permeabilties are in the 0.01 – 0.1 md range. Bottom hole pressures are often in excess of 4000 psi. Water saturations commonly range from 35 – 45%. Generally log calculations use a Rw of 0.05 to 0.07 at BHT. This study uses 0.06. Anadarko has published that recovery factors for vertical well bores average from 1 to 3% while horizontal well bores range from 15 to 20%. It is still too early in the life of these horizontals to predict EUR’s. This study finds that Anadarko’s newly produced horizontal wells have recovery factors of nearly 10% on 160 acre spacing.

  20. The Barker 12-9 is in the 320 acre lease. It is located at NE/SE of 12-1S-68W. This well was perforated from 7998’ to 8006’ (8’). It was frac’d with 170,000 #’s of 20/40 sand and undisclosed fluid. The BOE per acre is estimated as 7,055.

  21. Barker12-9 Decline Curve Analysis - Codell-Niobrara Semilog Fit. EUR estimated at 71,000 BOE. The Barker 12-9 had produced for 18 years out of the Niobrara - Codell. It had produced 69,300 BOE when P&A’d. Given 20% Niobrara production, as is reported, 55,440 BOE are attributed to the Codell. This results in a 20% recovery factor. This well may be a very good Codell well or very good production out of the Niobrara which would decrease this Codell EUR. Production (BOE/yr) vs. Time (yr) BOE per Year Years

  22. The TudexReinholt #NC4 is in the 320 acre lease. It is located at NW of 12-1S-68W. It calculates to have a 2.8 % recovery factor. This assumes 80% of production is from Codell.

It uses the Neutron-Density log found on the Elms 2 because there was not one of record.

  23. TudexReinholt #NC4 Decline Curve Analysis - Codell-Niobrara Semilog Fit. EUR estimated at 10,100 BOE. The TudexReinholt #NC4 has produced for 11 years out of the Niobrara - Codell.

BOE per acre is estimated as 13,934.

  25. Reynolds Decline Curve Analysis Semilog Fit. EUR estimated at 23,050 BOE. This results in a 4.1 % recovery factor of the petroleum initially in place (PIIP) on 40 acres. The Reynolds has produced for 5 years out of the Codell. The last 3 years of production are 3309, 1818 and 829 BOE/yr. Note the steeper decline than found in the immediate area surrounding the subject 320 acre lease. Production (BOE/yr) vs. Time (yr) BOE per Year Years

  26. Reynolds 21-24 well logs. Note lower resistivity. This is assumed to correspond with lower water resistivity. PSC 13C-13HZ shows a 10 ohm-m resistivity whereas it is 7 – 7.5 here.

  27. PSC 13C-13HZ Decline Curve Analysis Semilog Fit. EUR estimated at 231,000 BOE.
