  1. Does any one know why 21087, 1,005, Sinclair, Highland 2-9 (note: no "H" designation) has stopped pumping?

    1. Somewhere along the line they must have changed the name or corrected a typo.

      #21087 now shows an "H" designation at the NDIC web site: Highland 2-9H. It was fracked: 19 stages; 1.8 million pounds; it I read the sundry correctly it was all sand, no ceramics. Total depth was 15,000 feet consistent with a short lateral.

      The NDIC shows its status as "F" which means it is flowing without a pump, but some have suggested that "F's" are not always updated when a pump has been put on.

      If no pump has yet been put on, it seems this would be about the right time, six months out. But, I suppose there could be a number of other reasons also for taking it off-line. Maybe others know and will take time to comment.
