The Amoruso field is home to some of the largest producing onshore gas wells in the US during the past five years. Two of the country’s five largest wells since 2002, Bonnie Ann 1 and South McLean B1, are in the Amoruso field.
Initial gross production rates in these wells have exceeded 50 million cubic feet per day. The most recent Amoruso well, Laxson, is producing about 65 million gross cubic feet of gas per day. EnCana has seven rigs working in the field now and expects to increase that to about 10 next year.
Randy Eresman, president and CEO of EnCana, said: We are acquiring our partner’s 50% interest in the prolific Amoruso Field, centered in one of the fastest-growing natural gas trends in North America, the Deep Bossier formation. These assets are a seamless fit with our existing production and operations, and they hold tremendous growth potential in the near and longer term.
