New horizontal Jonah and Pinedale wells: dropping below the US$2.00/mcf breakeven threshold
Report summary
After years of Rockies tight gas plays generally struggling to remain competitive with unconventional gas opportunities, operators in southwest Wyoming have found a bright spot in the Jonah and Pinedale fields. Several operators are actively exploring the horizontal potential of the Lance Pool. Recent wells have yielded noteworthy IP rates above 30 mmcfed. Associated EUR estimates are over 20 bcfe resulting in breakevens for these initial wells being below US$2.00/mcf and may even move lower because of continually falling costs. With metrics on par with northeast Pennsylvania Marcellus wells, this is certainly an area to keep an eye on.
