The locations of all the wells previously drilled through 1992 are shown
on Figure 7A. An ethane magnitude contour map (Figure 7B) illustrates
the basis of Axem/Murfin decisions in selecting well sites. The following
are the 1993 wells that were drilled:
1 Marathon completed the Wendleburg #2-11 as a  Morrow
oil well in February 1993. This well was a direct offset to the Axem/Murfin
Wendleburg #1-11 drilled three months previously in November 1992. This
was the only lease Marathon held in the field area.
2 HGB Oil drilled three Morrow oil completions from March
through July 1993 (Witt #A2, Witt #B1, Brewer #2). The wells were on the
updip, west side of the field. The Witt #B1 only produced 1745 BO and
is considered to be a dry hole.
3 Axem/Murfin drilled three Morrow oil wells in the north
area with the Bobcat #1-2, Coyote #2, and Wendleburg #3-11. The Bobcat
and Wendleburg well locations were in areas of anomalous microseeps.
4 Axem/Murfin drilled two Morrow oil wells in the south
area with the Mooore-Johnson #3 and Moore-Johnson #4 wells. The Moore-Johnson
#3 well was completed in August 1993 and was located in an area of anomalous
ethane concentrations.
By the end of 1993, Moore-Johnson field contained 17 Morrow oil wells
and extended for 11,000 feet in a north-south direction and 3000 feet
in width. Axem/Murfin had completed seven successful Morrow wells without
a dry hole. At the end of 1993, cumulative production at the field was
780,549 BO.
In 1994, four wells were drilled by three oil companies in the north
area of the field. The following are the 1994 wells that were drilled:
5 HGB Oil drilled the Witt #A1 as a Morrow oil well in
January 1994. The well location was on trend and 1500 feet from their
Witt #A2 completion 6 months earlier.
6 Axem/Murfin drilled their first dry hole in the Bobcat
#2-2 in January 1994. A 700-foot offset to the southwest, however, resulted
in a Morrow oil completion. The Bobcat lease, to date, has produced a
total cumulative of 170,646 BO from two wells.
7 Duncan Energy completed a marginal Morrow well with
the Lang #34-35 in March 1994. After only producing 477 BO, the well was
converted to an injection well.
Moore-Johnson field was fully defined by 34 wells. The major extension
of the field only took 24 months. This is one of the shortest development
periods for a comparitive size field in the whole Morrow trend.
By the end of 1994, the cumulative production from the 19 Morrow wells
in Moore-Johnson field was 980,152 BO.
