June 16, 2015: after posting the original post below I received an explanation of why the wells on two of the pads have been taken off-line, while two of the pads remain on line. The names of the wells on each pad provide an hint:

• Pad A; Sand Creek State wells
• Pad B: Sand Creek State wells
• Pad C: Sand Creek Federal wells
• Pad D: Sand Creek Federal, Helsingborg Federal wells

For background, see this earlier post.

A random look at four Newfield multi-well pads in Sand Creek oil field. Three of the pads are 3-wells pads; one well is a 4-well pad: These are:

• all incredibly good wells
• they are all completed; no fracking occurring in the immediate area
• they all have great crude oil production
• all have considerable natural gas flaring

Two of the multi-well pads have been taken off-line. Two of the multi-well pads are still on-line and are still flaring.

Pad A remains on line; no days off-line: SW 16-153-96, all horizontals run north; wells #27526, #27527, and #27528. The production from #27528 is typical of all three wells on this pad:

Pad B remains on line; no days off-line: SE 16-153-96, all horizontals run north; wells #25074, #25073, and #25072. The production from #25072 is typical of all three wells on this pad:

Pool	Date	Days	BBLS Oil	Runs	BBLS Water	MCF Prod	MCF Sold	Vent/Flare
BAKKEN	4-2015	30	13000	12943	1900	24854	0	24584

BAKKEN	1-2015	25	24203	23916	4850	38756	0	3875

Pad C, off-line as of April, 2015; last production March 30, 2015; NE 21-153-96, all horizontals run south; wells #28765, #28766, and #28767. Production from #28765 is typical of the three wells on this pad, even down to exactly only 12 bbls produced in the 30-days production in March, 2015, in all three wells.

There are several story lines here, but I think I will leave it for now.
