Operations

Dry Creek operates oil and gas assets by aligning subsurface understanding with field execution. Our approach emphasizes asset-specific decisions informed by data, performance, and practical operating experience, allowing each well and field to be managed based on its technical and economic characteristics.  

Each asset is evaluated independently based on reservoir characteristics, production behavior, and economic conditions. Strategies are adjusted to fit each asset, prioritizing targeted decisions over standardized field practices. 

 At the Antelope M-1 field, originally developed in the 1940s and having produced millions of barrels of oil, Dry Creek recompleted the Henderson #1 well on structure to evaluate remaining attic oil. Over its first approximately 100 days of production, the well has averaged about 25 barrels of oil per day with modest water cut, supporting the presence of unswept oil despite prior waterflooding. 

Variable sweep efficiency and historical well activity suggested that portions of the reservoir remained uncontacted, particularly in structurally favorable positions. The results reinforced the role of structural definition, mechanical isolation, and targeted field management in developing remaining reserves.
