Random Note on the Patten 1-33-34H -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA -- February 10, 2012

Update

December 18, 2016: no explanation in the file report for the recent bump-up in production after coming off-line for a couple of months. Well  #30411 was possibly fracked at this time.

November 27, 2012: the well has been back on line since January, 2012, and a pump is in place, apparently answering the question. The well was off-line for 30 days in May-June (2012) but is now back on line, producing about 3,500 bbls oil per month.

Original Post

Elsewhere they are asking why this very good well is off-line?
  • 18705, 990, Hunt, Patten 1-33-34H-1, s4/10; t7/10; AL; cum 282K 5/17; no production in December (2011); 2,000 bbls in just 19 days in November (2011); prior to that, 5 - 6,000 bbls/month; hyperbolic decline, starting with 21K first month of production, dropping to 13K the second month, and then down to 5K/month; in 2014, about 2,500 bopm
Tagged to follow-up later. Possibly taken off-line to put a pump on; possibly a work-over rig if the pump was already on.

Update, July 10, 2012: generally about 4,000 bbls/month; in May, 2012, on-line for only 16 days and produced only 1900 bbls.

  1. Some wells are shut in while an adjoining well on a pad is fracked. With pad drilling, there can be several. This is a generic comment, not about this well. Also, sometimes a pipeline is shut while work is done on the line. So, sometimes it is not about the particular well.

    1. Yes, I had forgotten about fracking on the same pad --> taking a well off-line.

      Bottom line: several reasons for taking a well off-line.

      Biggest concern: if companies start taking wells off-line due to inadequate or strained takeaway capacity.
