Objective Depth definition

Objective Depth means 17,370 feet measured depth, 15,100 feet true vertical depth, or to a depth sufficient to test the 12,800’ sands and the 14,800’ sands, whichever is the shallower.

Objective Depth means a depth sufficient to test the lesser of the Objective Horizon or the specific footage depth stated in the AFE and approved by the Participating Parties.

Objective Depth means a true vertical depth of at least 14,900 feet true vertical depth (15,706’ measured depth), or to a depth sufficient to test the Lentic 1 section, as defined hereinafter, whichever is deeper. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Lentic 1 section shall be deemed drilled to a sufficient depth when the IEW has been drilled to a depth sufficient to evaluate the seismic trough amplitude event observed at 4.250 seconds on Inline 1777 and Crossline 2071 of the TGS Diamond 3-D Seismic Survey. Such Lentic 1 section is also identified as the stratigraphic equivalent of the Lentic 1 section found in the Conoco OCS_G 5093 #1 well located in Green Canyon Block 142 at the interval from 14190’ to 14830’ true vertical depth.

Examples of Objective Depth in a sentence

• The directional control and intentional deviation of a well to change the bottom-hole location, whether it be to the original Objective Depth or formation or another bottom-hole location not deeper than the stratigraphic equivalent of the initial Objective Depth, unless the intentional deviation is done to straighten the hole or to drill around junk in the hole or to overcome other mechanical difficulties.

• A drilling operation conducted in an existing wellbore below the Objective Depth to which the well was previously drilled.

• Upon each Well having reached Objective Depth and formation entry, Operator shall notify each Participant of its election to test and to complete each Prospect/Re Entry Well to bring on full production, or of Operator’s election to plug and abandon any Prospect Well.

• Casing Point shall be defined as that point in time when the ITW (or Substitute Well therefor) has reached its Objective Depth and all open hole logs and tests have been conducted in accordance with the Approved AFE.

• If Article 8.3 (Second Opportunity to Participate) or Article 8.4 (Participation by Fewer Than All Parties), or both, apply to any Election in Article 10.2 (Exploratory Operations at Objective Depth), then the response period in those articles shall be twenty-four (24) hours (inclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays) instead of forty-eight (48) hours (exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays).

More Definitions of Objective Depth

Objective Depth means the projected total depth of the well as defined in the drilling proposal of the party or parties proposing the drilling of such well.

Objective Depth means a depth adequate to test the Ellenburger formation anticipated to be encountered at the 8,400’ foot depth, Xxxxxx formation anticipated at the 7,700-7,900’foot depth, and the Wolfcamp formation anticipated to be encountered at approximately the 6,200’ foot depth.

Objective Depth means the total depth of an Initial Test Well or Substitute Well(s) as specified the formal drilling AFE for such well for each Prospect as shown on Exhibits "A" and "B".

Objective Depth means a depth adequate to test the Upper Clearfork & Lower Clearfork formations, anticipated to be encountered at a depth of approximately 4400’ feet, but in no event a depth greater than 5100 feet.

Objective Depth means the objective total depth of an Initial Test Well or substitute well as specified in the AFE for such well as proposed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Objective Depth means, for any well, the shallower of the total footage to be drilled (as measured in true vertical depth) or the penetration by the drill bit of a depth sufficient to test to the stratigraphic equivalent of the base of the deepest target formation or interval. Said depth, formation or interval (together with a bottomhole location) shall be set forth in the proposed Well Plan and AFE.

Objective Depth has the meaning ascribed to it in Article 6,
