MRO Re-Fracking Wells -- An Update On Two Wells That Were-Re-Fracked -- December 17, 2014

A long time ago, back in the summer of 2011, I went through the MRO wells that looked like they might be candidates for MRO's re-fracking program. Periodically, I go back through that list to see if there is any evidence of any re-working or re-fracking.

Tonight, an update on two wells of interest. First:
  • 17753, 553, MRO, Strommen 34-8H, Killdeer, t6/09; cum 193K 10/14; looks like it was re-fracked/re-worked July 11; re-fracked this past summer, 2014
According to the sundry forms, this well was initially stimulated 6/12/2009, 0 stages (open-hole), 208,360 pounds of sand.

Then, most recently, it was stimulated again, on 8/9/2014 (a couple of months ago), 30 stages, 2.1 million lbs of sand.

Note the production profile for the past year:

The second well of interest:
  • 17966, 358, MRO, Jerry Pennington USA 34-21H, Reunion Bay, t6/09; cum 177K 10/14; it looks like it was re-fracked this past summer (2014)
It appears this well was originally an open-hole stimulation with 207,500 lbs of sand in early June, 2009.

A sundry form received on May 20, 2014, states that MRO plans to re-frack this well; the frack must have been completed, but the data is not yet on file. The production profile for the past few months, note the huge jump from 1400 bbls in April, 2014, to over 16,000 bbls in just 22 days of September:

Cool, huh?

First of all, back in 2011, with minimal data, and painstakingly going through the scout tickets I came up with a list of MRO wells that might be suitable for MRO's re-fracking program (see link above).  It turns out a few of those wells have been re-fracked; others have had some re-work done based on the production profile, but whether they were re-fracked is hard to say.

  1. Greetings, Mr. Oksol. As always, I thank you for your efforts with the blog.
    As the price of oil lowers, practices such as re-frac'ing may assume a much more sudden importance due to the obvious economics. A great many people/companies are watching and evaluating these ongoing operations.

    1. Thank you. I mention re-fracking briefly in the next post also; something to think about.
