Something Tells Me We Don't Have All The Frack Data -- But ... December 21, 2020

The WPX Topaz wells are tracked here

See this note: fracking commentary. 

 The wells: file reports are not yet available.

  • 37322, loc/A, WPX, Topaz 24HUL, Mandaree, t--; cum 24K over 14 days; fracked 9/26/20 - 9/30/20; and record low frack with 2.4 million gallons of water; 83% water by mass; my hunch is that this well was fracked two or three times in quick succession, and FracFocus only captured one of them as of December 21, 2020;

************************************
loc/A
and Confidential Status


When wells come off the confidential list / off confidential status, the file report should be available over at the NDIC website. Interestingly enough that is not true for the spectacular WPX Topaz wells. 

Not only are the well files not posted, but the "get well file" button is not even visible for these wells.

Someone's doing a good job of keeping data for these wells confidential. Interestingly enough, they are still listed as loc/A when other wells coming off the confidential list with production and no "IP," are generally listed as drl/A. I've talked about this before, about oil companies using the "small print" to extend the confidentiality of their wells.
