It Looks Like Petro-Hunt USA Well #34294 Has Been Fracked -- Or Soon To Be -- Let's Check -- November 13, 2019

API: 33-053-08300.

FracFocus.

Yup, there it is: fracked 10/23/19 - 11/3/19. A huge frack:
  • 18.9 million gallons of water
  • water: 93.63% by mass
  • sand: 3.3% by mass
  • ceramics: 2.97% by mass
The well:
  • 34294, SI/NC, Petro-Hunt, USA 154-95-36D-35-2H, Charlson, t--; cum --;
How was this "discovered"?

Another huge Petro-Hunt Charlson well was recently taken off line:
  • 16963, 423, Petro-Hunt, USA 35D-1-1H, Charlson, t12/108; cum 776K 9/19; recent production:

#16963 is interesting:
  • last sundry form dated November 8, 2012
  • this well has two laterals: the SW lateral; and the SE lateral
  • NDIC had a question, August 29, 2011; Petro-Hunt responded: both laterals started producing on 2-14-09
  • Three Forks
  • open hole, December, 2008
  • SW lateral: 580,578 pounds sand
  • SE lateral: 470,943 pounds sand
  • both laterals about 15,000 feet TD
  • spud: May 6, 2008
  • cease drilling: July 29, 2008
  • dual lateral in sections 35 and 36; targeting the Three Forks
  • big rig: May 23, 2008
  • kick-off point: May 28, 2008
  • "due to issues caused by extremely high gas that occurred nearby in section 2 it was decided to set casing between 15 to 40 feet of true vertical depth above the upper Bakken shale"
  • casing point reached on May 31, 2008
  • drilling commenced on June 5, 2008
  • high gases encountered
  • lateral 1: max trip gas of 3,582 gas units; a 20-foot flare
    • drilling continues; background gas increased from 4,000 units to 5,300 units
    • at a measured depth of 12,400 feet, gas increased dramatically to over 7,500 units; a20- to 40-foot intermittent flare; then dropped to a continuous 5- to 10-foot flare with 30-foot flares being  noted at connection gases;
    • due to sudden increase in flaring, etc., it was believed the wellbore crossed a natural fault and possibly other smaller faults
    • gamma had increased to 112 api, indicating the hottest gamma peak just below the target;
    • background gas ranged between 6,000 to 7,500 units with connecting gases of 6,000 to 8,000 unis; a continuous one- to ten-foot flare noted; with 15- to 25-foot flares seen at connections
    • at a measured depth (MD) of 12,951 feet, a connection gas of 8,849 units was seen; 40-foot flare
    • all data suggested the wellbore was crossing numerous faults
    • wow, a trip gas of 10,000 units noted at an MD fo 13,395 feet
    • at a MD of 13,500 feet the geologist in Denver was consulted; decided to target a slightly shallower inclination
    • TD at 14,491 feet
  • lateral #2
    • oil shows were not nearly as strong as those seen in the first lateral; it is thought that this is due to the lack of fractures and faults that were seen in the first lateral
So, let's check #34295, FracFocus has not yet scanned any frack data for this well --
  • 34295, SI/NC, API: 33-053-08301, Petro-Hunt, USA 154-95-36D-35-3H, Charlson, t--; cum --;
