The Fry Sand is at a depth of 1,300ft and is part of the Strawn Series, which is an oil producer in the region. The play comprises of oil accumulations in combined structural or stratagraphic traps in predominantly Pennsylvanian age quartz sandstone reservoirs.
The Byler lease also contains the Marble Falls Limestone which is part of the lower Pennsylvanian System at approximately 2,300ft. Most of the oil in the play occurs on the crest and western flank of the Bend Arch where the Byler Lease is located, and gas production occurs in stratagraphic traps or faults and in the highs in the formation.
Of the 17 existing wells on the lease, two are water injection wells, 11 are Fry wells and four are Marble Falls wells. The company has examined all 17 wells in the previous three months and has determined that nine of these wells should be completed as producing oil and gas wells. The company has installed a new tank farm and three new pump jacks.
Doug Tallant, president of Friendly Energy, said: “We believe the Byler lease can once again be a good producer. We have finished uncapping and reworking the wells of Byler field. We are in the process of doing final production testing. We expect to get production numbers from these nine wells within the next two weeks.”
