wolfcamp to rival the bakken !, page-15

Hi there Acreage1,

here is a combination of data from todays release and from 2011.The one whisky posted for you is an excellent spread of the play but at the bottom of my post you will see where the horizontals are targeting specific zones.I dont think any of this is very specific science, as it will change from the midlands where GGP are to the Delaware and so on.

happy reading.

New Emerging Plays Blog! Texas Delaware Basin — Bone Springs and Wolfcamp

by Chris Smith

EMERGING PLAYS BLOG! Now available due to popular demand. The US is now home to many unconventional plays, from established gas plays like Barnett and Fayetteville, to newer hybrid plays like the Niobrara and Eagle Ford. There are many unanswered questions about all these plays, but some are under the radar a bit more than others. This blog seeks to uncover the trends in all of the emerging unconventional US plays. We will christen this blog with an entry about the not-so-obscure but still emerging Texas Bone Springs play in the Delaware Basin.

First, lets build the setting. The Delaware Basin is west of the Midland Basin separated by the Central Basin Platform.

For the rest of this blog I pulled what I consider to be all unconventional activity from 2010 to present. This includes Bone Springs and Wolfcamp activity.

Who is drilling the verticals and horizontals and where are the liquid sweet-spots? These next two maps are bubbled by peak monthly liquids.

Finally, What are these wells targeting?
