Legacy Asset. Our Hackberry field is located due east of one of the four Strategic Petroleum Reserve locations in the United States. Discovered by the majors in the early 1900's, Gulfport now employs technological innovations such as 3-D seismic and directional drilling to drive development and exploit untapped resource. Highlighted facts regarding Hackberry include:
 |
|
- Located along the western shore of Lake Calcasieu, 15 miles inland from the waters of the Gulf of Mexico
- Discovered in 1926 by Gulf Oil Co. and developed using 2-D seismic
- Our leases at West Hackberry are located within two miles of one of the United States Department of Energy's Strategic Petroleum Reserves
- During 2005, Gulfport completed a proprietary 42 square mile 3-D seismic survey at Hackberry
- Major salt intrusive feature, elliptical in shape, divided into east and west entities by a saddle
- A series of structurally complex and steeply dipping fault blocks formed by the salt intrusion serve to trap hydrocarbon accumulations
Thick Sands Provide Production Upside. Multiple pay zones and highly productive sands in the deep and shallow sections on the field's north flank.
- Wells currently produce from perforations found between 5,100 and 12,200 feet
- Development potential of over 30 different pay zones
- As of year end 2011, an impressive cumulative production of over 1,911 MBOE and 470 Bcf has been produced from the entire Hackberry field
