Watch Horizontal Drilling in the Hammer – Rock Tank Area in the northern Midland Basin, a talk presented by Darryl James at AAPG/DPA Playmaker Forum in Midland, Texas on 14 January, 2015.
https://www.aapg.org/vide...rthern-midland-basin Summary: This presentation is a review of the mapping techniques and shale-log petrophysics that led to the discovery of the Hammer-Rock Tank Area. This emerging unconventional play is located near the northeastern part of the Midland Basin near the Howard Borden County Line. Three rigs operated by Tall City Exploration and Element are currently drilling 1.5 mile horizontal wells to delineate benches in the upper Wolfcamp and Spraberry shale.
