Décollement Consulting has been retained to provide operations geology and management leadership for Ranchers Exploration Partners, LLC. Ranchers plans to drill and complete 500 wells in the D-J Basin over the next three years. Decollement Consulting provided two man Mud Logging and Geologic Consulting on the first two wells in that program. The wells will look at Sussex thru Lyons Formations. The early wells in the program will be vertical or S-turn multi pad wells. Horizontal Niobrara “B” wells will be scheduled later on in the drilling program.
