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.

  2. This well was an open hole completion until October when it was shut down for fracking. A big rig was in place in about November but there was problems with the lining. The well has been essentially shut down since then. Frack tanks were in place in July and August.

  3. The well was a victim of poor planning. Hopefully it is up and running now.
