    looks like to me a casulty of the worst winter in 100 yrs. then the month of mud got the well..
    revisit this story in 90 days and tells us what gives, as i bet the well will return to its former glory.

    Most likely (a casualty of winter blizzards and spring mud).

    I occasionally find wells that have been taken off production to put in a pump or solve a problem or to frac (but obviously this well as been fracked -- if not, it's going to be a huge well). But generally not this long -- so most likely mud and/or flooding.

    But it looks like a great well, and I agree, by end of 2011, it's going to be quite remarkable.

    I put a tag at the bottom "Follow-Up" which reminds me which wells need to be looked at again.

    I was told that a sister well, Devils Canyon, was being completed and that the Crying Tree was shut in until Devils Canyon was completed. Has flooding slowed them down?

    I do not know. Maybe someone reading this post can provide more information.

    Crying Tree well is back producing though a lot lower than expected (bopd <120).
    Devils Canyon is still a mystery, are they that far behind in frac jobs?

    Devil's Canyon, file # 19056, status DRL.

    With regard to fracking, I cannot comment on specific wells and fracking, but I have been blogging for the past six months that at least 50 percent of wells coming off confidential list are not fracked at the time the six-month confidential period ends.

    In their earnings conference calls, the companies say they will catch up by November, but I doubt it.

    Unless someone points out where I'm wrong, or how I'm wrong, I still maintain that they won't catch up this year. The larger operators have their own dedicated frack teams but even that won't be enough for the larger operators. And the smaller operators without dedicated frack teams are standing in a long queue waiting for an available team.

    BEXP seems to be an exception, consistently (with some exceptions) reporting great IPs when they come off the confidential list.
