Of the 17 wells, two are water injection wells, 11 are Fry wells and four are Marble Falls wells. Of the Fry wells, the company expects to rework only five, because the other six have environmental problems.
Of the Marble Falls wells, it expects to rework only two, because one had a tool dropped down the hole and the other will probably be uneconomic to rework, the company said. It may be feasible to drill some of the Fry wells deeper and recomplete in the Caddo or Marble Falls.
Douglas Tallant, president of Friendly Energy, said: “We have begun the process of uncapping and reworking the wells of Byler field this week. We expect to get production and reserve numbers from seven wells on this lease over the next two months.”
The company also said that one of the water injected wells at its Panther Creek field will be plugged early next week. Following completion of this process, the company expects to ship oil from this field to market with the approval of the Texas Railroad Commission.
