Spirit of America US34 #1-29H, Goshen County, Wyoming, Samson 100% working interest
The Spirit of America US34 #1-29H well crew was unsuccessful in their first attempt to deviate the well bore around the drill bit that was left in the hole, as reported last week. The crew has set a new cement plug, which has been conditioned ahead of using a more aggressive drilling assembly in the second attempt.
The forward plan is to drill to a depth of 9,060 feet just below the salt section and above the Permian target. At this point a logging run will be undertaken and 7 inch casing run, in order to put the salt section behind pipe so that the balance of the well can be drilled to the planned total depth of 11,000 feet.
The Spirit of America well is appraising the multiple conventional targets identified in the North Platte 3D seismic data set. These targets consist of a Permian age stratigraphic trap and a Pennsylvanian age structural trap.
