Random Update Of Four Neighboring Newfield Wells In Sand Creek -- May 22, 2016

Updates

Later, 7:01 p.m. Central Time: shortly after posting the note below, a reader, thank you very much, took the time to send photographs of the Newfield wells mentioned below. Specifically, these are photographs of what I referred to as Pad C in this particular posting.

The cattle guards are a story in themselves (posted many years ago). Isn't the scenery beautiful? A huge thanks to the reader for sending me these photos.

An update of four neighboring Newfield multi-well pads in Sand Creek oil field. Three of the pads are 3-wells pads; one well is a 4-well pad.

See this post for background.
 
Pad A remains on line; only a few days off-line for any of the wells: SW 16-153-96, all horizontals run north; wells #27526, #27527, and #27528. 

• 27527, 1,243, Newfield, Sand Creek State 153-96-16-4H, Sand Creek, t1/15; cum 95K 3/16;

Pad B remains on line: SE 16-153-96, all horizontals run north; wells #25074, #25073, and #25072. The production from #25072 is perhaps the best:

• 25072, 1,449, Newfield, Sand Creek State 153-96-16-2H, Sand Creek, t1/15; cum 110K 3/16;

Pad C, this was perhaps the most "sporadic" of the four pads: 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:

• 28765, 2,190, Newfield, Sand Creek Federal 153-96-21-28-3H, Sand Creek, t1/15; cum 120K 3/16;

Pad D, three of the four wells were off-line April/May, 2015, but since then all have been on-line. This pad is perhaps the best of the four: NW 22-153-96, all horizontals run south; wells #29268, #29113, #29114, and #29115. The one well of these four that has never been off-line is #29115; in April/May, 2015, when the sister wells off off-line, this well produced slightly less than 3,000 bbls in April and slightly more than 7,000 bbls the following month. All four wells took a huge jump in production in July, 2015. Production from #29115 might be among the best from this pad:

• 29115, 1,513, Newfield, Sand Creek Federal 153-96-22-27-3H, Sand Creek, t12/14; cum 126K 3/16;

Note the production jump for #29115 in July, 2015:

BAKKEN	10-2015	31	6288	6012	1523	18791	18013	498

BAKKEN	5-2015	31	7012	6758	910	11435	0	11156

 We saw the same things with #29114:

BAKKEN	10-2015	31	7125	6989	2223	17645	17225	141
BAKKEN	9-2015	30	8570	8421	2445	21026	15564	5192
BAKKEN	8-2015	31	12964	12989	3397	23370	7841	15250
BAKKEN	7-2015	30	10247	10010	1766	14030	7373	6490
BAKKEN	6-2015	25	154	233	27	15	0	8
BAKKEN	5-2015	31	0	0	0	6	0	0
BAKKEN	4-2015	30	0	0	0	14	0	0
BAKKEN	3-2015	31	8960	9213	2388	14869	0	14678

It was also true of the other two wells on this pad, a huge jump in production in July, 2015.

It should be noted that these four Newfield pads will soon have a new neighbor. One section to the east, in section 15-153-96, XTO has another 4-well pad:

• 31223, conf, XTO, Harley Federal 24X-15F,
• 31224, conf, XTO, Harley Federal 24X-15B,
• 31225, conf, XTO, Harley Federal 24X-15E,
• 31226, conf, XTO, Harley Federal 24X-15A,
