Wyoming test well reaches target at 6,183 feet

Ray Tyson

Denver-based independent Kodiak Oil & Gas Corp. said July 6 that a well designed to test the gas potential of the Almond Formation coals and sands in Sweetwater County, Wyo., has reached a total depth of 6,200 feet.

Thirty-one sidewall core samples were recovered from the sands and the coals in the Almond formation as well as the coals from the shallower Lance and Fort Union formations, Kodiak said, adding that cores would be evaluated for gas content, permeability and porosity. Kodiak has a 40 percent working interest in the initial test well.
