Here's Bill Rintoul's story on the precise location of BKP's # 1 <<Notices filed by operators for exploration, development wells Filed: August 18, 1999 From a confidential exploration well to development wells, the weekly list of new locations continues in the Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources' Weekly Summary of Notices Received. In the week ending Aug. 14, operators filed notices for five wells, including Berkley Petroleum Inc.'s "CE" wildcat at Lost Hills, Exxon Corp.'s two "OGs" at South Belridge, Occidental of Elk Hills Inc.'s one "OG" at Elk Hills; and Macpherson Oil Co.'s one "OG" at Round Mountain. Berkley Petroleum Inc.'s Berkley East Lost Hills No. 1 is on Sec. 6, 26S-21E, located from the northeast corner of the section 4,160 feet south and 300 feet west. The drill site is approximately two miles northwest of Bellevue Resources' Bellevue No. 1 on Sec. 17, 26S-21E, which proved up the new deep discovery field off the eastern edge of the Lost Hills field. Coordinates for Berkley Petroleum's new location place the drill site in the southeast quarter of Sec. 6 near an exploratory well that was drilled more than 10 years ago in the same quarter. The latter was Conoco Inc.'s Robertson No. 6-1, which went to total depth of 14,500 feet. Markers included San Joaquin, 2,660 feet; Etchegoin, 4,612 feet; Reef Ridge, 10,960 feet; Antelope, 13,609 feet; and McDonald, 14,250 to 14,500 feet, bottoming in Miocene at total depth. Testing in various intervals from below 13,740 feet to 14,210 feet produced some oil, but recovery was not commercial and the well was plugged and abandoned on Jan. 24, 1988. Berkley Petroleum Inc. plans to go deeper than Conoco went. Nabors Drilling USA Inc.'s powerful Rig No. 339 has the assignment to take the new exploratory well deeper than the Conoco wildcat.>> Copyright© 1999, The Bakersfield Californian \| Email the Webmaster Associated Press Copyright Notice \| Privacy Policy Statement
