Another Example Of The Halo Effect Of Fracking? -- December 7, 2015

This is quite fascinating. I am waiting for Mike Filloon to address the subject. The other day I posted what appeared to be a halo effect of fracking. One can find examples throughout the Bakken and patterns are starting to develop.

Here's another example. This is a 5-well pad. There was an index well drilled/completed/tested back in 2009. Then in 2014, four new wells were drilled and completed off the same pad.

Here is the graphic:


The index well:
  • 18035, 598, XTO, Clarence Federal 34X-7, Haystack Butte, t11/09; cum 101K 10/15;
Here is the production data around the time the neighboring wells were fracked. Prior to the neighboring fracks, the index well was producing well below 1,000 bbls/month. After the neighboring fracks, the well jumped to 4,000 bbls in 16 days or about 8,000 bbls over a full month. Two months later it was still producing over 5,000 bbls per month. With the slump in oil prices, one does not know to what extent the flow was choked back, nor if the increased flaring had any effect on production. The cost to produce those extra bbls of crude oil? $0. I don't think Saudi Arabia can beat that for production costs.
