A Re-Entry Well; Problems With Fracking Earlier Wells

This is kind of interesting. In today's daily activity report:

• 28071, loc, Petro-Hunt, Sorenson 152-96-24C-13-2HR,

This will be a re-entry well for this earlier well:

• 19359, TA, Petro-Hunt, Sorenson 152-96-24C-13-2H, t9/11; cum 32K 1/14 (in last month of production, on-line for only one day); TA - temporarily abandoned; 6 stages; 674K lbs sand frack;

There are two other wells on confidential status on that 3-well pad.

Other completed wells in this section, running north:

• 24438, 527, Petro-Hunt, Sorenson 152-96-24D-13-5H, t8/13; cum 74K 2/14;
• 24439, 1,733, Petro-Hunt, Sorenson 152-96-24E-13-6H,t8/13; cum 74K 2/14;
• 25048, 1,759, Petro-Hunt, Sorenson 152-96-24D-13-7H, t8/13; cum 91K 2/14;
• 21714, 1,626, Petro-Hunt, Sorenson 152-96-24C-24-4H, 21 stages; 2.7 million lbs sand, originally planned to be 27 stages; 6 stages were omitted due to problems, t4/12; cum 222K 2/14; 2,500 bbls/month
• 20476, 840, Petro-Hunt, Sorenson 152-96-24C-13-3H, t3/12; cum 194K 2/14;

This well ends in this section but is sited in the section to the north:

• 18308, 1,562, Petro-Hunt, Sorenson 152-96-13B-24-1H, t1/10; cum 290K 2/14; 2,500 bbls/month 

For newbies, it might have taken awhile, but these wells with cumulative production greater than 150K have probably paid for themselves, and continued production costs are relatively minimal.

Re-entry wells are tracked here.

This is what I find interesting: this drilling unit is held by production; nevertheless, Petro-Hunt is going back in to complete a well that had problems earlier on.
