Random Update On The Amber Renee -- July 2, 2016

I apologize. I finally took the time to explain this well.

I never knew why this well -- an incredible well -- was taken off-line back in early 2014. And it just rested there -- nothing happening -- no explanation .... but now two sundry forms explain what happened and is happening.

This is the well (I've blogged about it numerous times; easy to find; just search the file number at the blog):
  • 18408, TA/1,945, Murex, Amber Renee 25-36H,  Sanish, t2/10; cum 821K 12/13;
After being off-line for about two years, it was finally placed on "TA" status, March 8, 2016. Why would such a great well be abandoned?  Even if just temporarily?

Finally, the sundry form dated February 9, 2016:
"An ESP was sanded in during the offset frack in January, 2013. Three (3) attempts to fish the ESP were made without success over the next year. During the 1st attempt the EPS assembly fell and landed in the 4-1/2" liner top.....the majority of the ESP was fished or milled up, however the lower portion is stuck in the LT/PBR...."

"To keep the well in compliance with the NDIC, TA status is being requested."
That was on February 9, 2016.

So, what next? In a sundry form dated March 18, 2016, we learn that the well has been plugged with cement and the well shut in. Future use of the wellbore will be to sidetrack and complete a new lateral once commodity prices improve.

Of course there is more, there always is. Take a look at this post to note the Sophia Drake (#30312) in relation to the Amber Renee. The Sophia Drake is still on SI/NC status.

An earlier post, simply to tell more of the story, "every well has a story." -- November 9, 2015.
