Reported As "Dry Wells" 
But Not Necessarily "Dry" In The Usual Sense Of The Word

This is interesting: EOG reports four dry wells:

• 27759, Parshall 157-2127H, 
• 29822, Fertile 75-0905H, 
• 30185, Fertile 78-0905H, 
• 99188, Liberty 22-12M,

Also, add:

• 30386, Fertile 66-0410H, 

According to the e-mail dated April 28, 2015, EOG no longer plans to drill #27759 based on test resutls on TF wells in the Parshall field.

In addition, #29822, #30185, and #29188, were all dropped from the drilling program to accommodate larger inner-wells spacing. All of the wells listed above (except #29188) had P&A procedures submitted. All four wells had surface casing set, but were not drilled below surface casing due to changing EOG priorities. #29188 is a monitoring well and was never planned to be a producer.
