Random Update on the Matthew Schmidt Well

A reader requested an update on this well:

  • 18427, 876, OXY/Anschutz, Matthew Schmidt 1-35-2H-143-97, Cabernet, F, t5/10; cum 115K 7/12;

Earlier reports stated that this well was not stimulated (fracked). There is a sundry notice dated February 21, 2012, notifying NDIC that the operator had erected a 10,000 bbl tank for frac fresh water storage. That is the top sheet in the well file; there are no sundry sheets regarding stimulation. The NDIC documentation suggests there is no pump on this well yet (though others have said that information can sometimes be delayed/omitted/wrong).

So, note the erratic production of this well in a very, very good oil field, drilled by Anschutz before being acquired by OXY USA, with a question whether this well was fracked earlier this year. Over 30 days in June, 2012, it produced five (5) bbls of oil; in just nineteen (19) days in July, it produced almost 2,500 bbls of oil. Interesting well.
