Mancos Shale: Great Prospects Still Ahead

Mancos Shale -  a great shale natural gas reservoir discovered and explored. In  2010 it was first drilled by Williams Co. 

Rosa A and Rosa B wells'  production averaged 5 MMcf/d (6.4 MMcf/d) in their first 30 days after being drilled. The location was estimated to hold ca. 60 trillion cf reserves at the time of discovery.
It is located across much of the Rockies  including the San Juan Basin, where it ranges from 1,500 to 2,000 feet in thickness.

“The great thing about the Mancos gas play is that, while there haven’t been a ton of wells drilled, there hasn’t been a bad well drilled,” -  Jay Paul McWilliams, President and Founder of LOGOS Resources II -  “Everything drilled is north of 5 Bcf, even those drilled in 2010. It’s a true resource play. We feel confident the geology is similar across a large portion of our acreage.”

Drilling depth here is between 4,500 and 5,500 feet total vertical depth with laterals extending 7,000 to 9,000 feet. “That’s why people get excited by bit efficiency—drilling is very forgiving in this area.” -  Ian Delahunty (CEO & President of Juniper Resources)
