• Green River Basin of SW Wyoming

• Approx 30 miles long by 5 miles wide

• 198,000 Acres• 80% of acreage is Federal BLM• 2nd largest gas resource in U.S.*

(20-25 Recoverable TCF)• 3,000 to 6,000 ft of highly

discontinuous, tight sand• Producing depths of 7,000 to

14,000 ft.

We plan approximately 750 wells per year and drill approximately100 wells per year. Current unitization - 10 acre spacing (16 wells/qtr section)

5 acre pilots (32 wells/qtr section)

Well Planning & Execution Team

4/6/2009

Well Planning takes too much time(3-5 months per ¼ section-16-32 wells)

• Develop a standard process

• Transition from traditional methods (Excel, Canvas, MapTech)

• Provide timely access to decision support information

Well Planning is not integrated with other data or processes

• Provide dynamic information access

• Provide integrated data sources

• Provides access to other disciplines

Business Drivers / Solutions

4

4/6/2009

Well Planning has questionable accuracy

• Assure accurate and reliable data by utilizing a spatial component

• Provide high quality deliverables

Well Planning needs to be automated

• Accomplish more work with fewer resources

• Provide automated tools for time consuming tasks

• Empower users with intuitive interface

Business Drivers / Solutions

Operators work together to negotiate areas for drilling with State of Wyoming

DocketsAreas are legally defined

SetbacksSetbacks are digitized based on docket information, i.e, 100 ft, 200 ft, 460 ft

Each Quarter section has an associated setback on each side

Docket: 238-2007Approved June 2007: 16 wells per 1/4 section

Data Created from Toolset1. Well Planning Dataset

Proposed Drainage EllipsesOrientation is based on induced hydrologic fracturesresulting in an elliptical rather than a circular pattern

Major/Minor Axis defines the elliptical pattern (4:1) based on micro-seismic information

Area is based on optimal production (10 acre vs 5 acre)

Target Areas – 80’ radius around well point

Proposed Wells – Standardized Well Name and StatusCall-outs – Require format = Distance from N/S & E/W Section Line
