Another Nice KOG Well

When you look at the ticket stub from NDIC below, take a look at the natural gas numbers (MCF producted, sold, and flared).

So, for newbies, back to the beginning. Did you take a look at the natural gas data (MCF produced, sold, and flared)?

The numbers tell me that the well is already hooked up to a natural gas line (gathering and processing) but the amount of natural gas from that well or that field or that pad or that general location exceeds what the local natural gas gathering and processing system can handle. Production exceeds capacity. That will be rectified within a few months.
