OREANDA-NEWS. In the first quarter 2015, EOG focused activity on its Parshall Core acreage in the North Dakota Bakken where 500-foot spacing results were very encouraging. Operational improvements continue to generate efficiency gains and lower well costs. Average well costs in the first quarter were down 14 percent from 2014 levels.

First quarter 2015 results included a five-well pattern in the Parshall area (Parshall 39-1608H, 58-1608H, 59-1608H, 147-1608H and 151-1608H), which averaged initial production rates per well of 1,235 Bopd, 110 Bpd of NGLs and 0.5 MMcfd of natural gas. Additionally, EOG completed a three-well pattern (Parshall 42-2117H, 43-2117H and 67-2117H), which had initial production rates per well that averaged 1,345 Bopd, 110 Bpd of NGLs and 0.5 MMcfd of natural gas.

In the DJ and Powder River Basins, EOG is focused on target selection and operational efficiencies. Both of these proven plays continue to generate strong results as evidenced by recent completions. In the DJ Basin, two first quarter Codell wells, the Jubilee 580-1720H and the Jubilee 582-0805H, had initial flow rates of 1,005 and 1,125 Bopd, 80 and 145 Bpd of NGLs and 0.3 and 0.5 MMcfd of natural gas, respectively. In the Powder River Basin, the Flatbow 13-13H was completed in the Turner with initial production of 860 Bopd, 70 Bpd of NGLs and 0.8 MMcfd of natural gas.
