Random Update Of An MRO-Re-Fracked Well, 16778 -- December 20, 2014

Production profiles of an MRO re-fracked well:
  • 16778, 354, MRO, Jack Pennington 21-28H, Reunion Bay, 0 stages; 524,020 lbs, t8/08; cum 177K 10/14;
Note: I have not seen the actual data of what MRO did most recently, but I am assuming MRO re-fracked the well (or in a sense, fracked it for the first time). However, according to the sundry form, MRO reported "0" stimulation stages and 524,020 pounds of proppants when they completed this well.

Production profile of this well when it was first completed and started producing:

This is the production profile of the well after MRO re-fracked or whatever they did with the well (note only 19 days in August, and production 13,000 bbls):

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.

Only Three Of Four International Oil Companies Generating Free Cash Flow At $60-Oil

Link at Rigzone.
Only three out of the top four international oil companies generate enough free cash flow to cover spending, including shareholder distributions, in a $60/barrel environment.
As a result, spending would need to be cut by $170 billion, or 37 percent year-on-year, at $60/barrel to keep net debt flat. The recent decline in global oil prices has prompted a number of oil and gas companies to cut 2015 spending plans.
Marathon Oil Corp. reported Wednesday that it would lower its 2015 capital expenditures by 20 percent due to the sharp decline in oil prices. Other companies such as ConocoPhillips also have adjusted their budgets to reflect lower oil prices.

Norway Delays Arctic-Focused Oil Licensing Round Until 2015

Link to Reuters story at Rigzone
Norway's government has delayed the launch of its Arctic-focused oil and gas licensing round until next year, the oil ministry said on Friday.
The delay comes after oil prices tumbled by 45 percent over the past six months, forcing energy companies to slash capital spending and cut back on exploration.
"Most exploration and production companies are now turning every stone to find ways to postpone investments or cut costs. The Ministry may have seen that these are challenging times for the industry and the timing for a new license round is a bit poor."
The ministry did not give a reason for the delay and did not specify when the licensing round would be launched in 2015. It will be the first time the government hands out blocks in the Arctic zone bordering Russia.
