MRO Re-Fracking Progam -- December 20, 2014

This post is NOT complete.

Updating the MRO re-fracking story.

For those who may have missed the earlier story, here's the link. Slide 14 at the MRO presentation provides additional background. Many of these presentations "disappear" over time.

A reader has sent me several notes regarding the MRO story. I feel very guilty not doing those notes justice -- my poor excuse is I'm traveling and don't stop much to blog.

I will come back to this later. The reader went through the MRO presentation of 3Q14; from slide 9 came up with these wells that might have been potential candidates for re-fracking. It will be interesting, later to compare this list with mine. I will fill in the well data for the file numbers below, later. If I put the file number in bold red, it means it was on my original list (but remember, this list is for 3Q14; my original list was back in July, 2011; a lot has happened between now and then:

The reader mentioned that MRO re-completed 16 wells in 3Q14.

The reader noted that for one well:

If you have a decline curve model, you can calculate IRRs in a spread sheet, given various cost and estimated prices.  I would estimate 17753 well IRR of about 30 percent, given refrac cost of $1.5MM and realized prices of $50/bbl.  That is not bad given today's pricing.
