A project headed by Tamarack Valley Energy experienced a “record” exit production rate toward the end of last year.
Canada-based Tamarack said its drilling program in the Wilson Creek contributed to a rise in production rates during the last two weeks of December.
Rates averaged at 9,700 boe/d with all 10.9 net wells drilled in the fourth quarter were brought on production last month.
Based on field estimates the firm averaged approximately 8,500 boe/d with an oil and natural gas liquids weighting of approximately 63%.
The news comes as the firm noted a fire-tube failure in an oil battery, causing it to shut down for three days.
Prior to this incident the oil battery was processing 3,700 to 3,800 bbls/d of oil and Tamarack was expecting to average approximately 9,400 to 9,500 boe/d in January, 2015.
