Whiting To Report A Huge Well In Truax Oil Field -- February 3, 2016

Note: if you have questions about "confidential" rules, see question #15 at FAQs. That was posted some time ago, but I assume it's still fairly accurate.

These wells are now off the confidential list; the monthly production data was posted while the wells were still on confidential status:

Fracking Data

Note: this is simply for my own enjoyment. I have no idea how accurate this might be. I am using 42 gallons of water per bbl and the standard weight in pounds for a gallon of water. Not all work is shown. All numbers are rounded. I do this quickly and do not double-check it. Typographical and factual errors are likely. Do not quote me on any of this. If this is important to you, go to the source.

Back-of-the-envelope calculations (done for the fun of it to compare with the data that will be provided later by Whiting):

31086:

• 9.7 million gallons of water, 8% by weight sand, per FracFocus:
• 92% of what =  80,949,062 pounds of water = 87,988,111 pounds
• 8% = 7 million lbs of sand
• Later, from the NDIC: 7.3 million lbs of sand

31087:

• 4.6 million gallons of water, 12.6% by weight sand per FracFocus:
• 87.4% of what = 38,388,215 = 43,922,443 pounds
• 12.6% = 5.5 million lbs of sand 
• Later, from the NDIC: 5.5 million lbs of sand

31088:

• 9.8 million gallons of water, 8.2% by weight sand per FracFocus:
• 91.8% of what = 81,783,588 pounds
• 8.2% = 6.7 million lbs of sand 
• Later, from the NDIC: 7.3 million lbs of sand

31089:

• 5 million gallons of water, 11.86% by weight sand per FracFocus:
• 88.14% of what = 41,726,321 pounds
• 11.86% = 4.95 million lbs sand
• Later, from the NDIC: 5.9 million lbs of sand
