MRO "Re-Covers" A Lousy Well -- October 9, 2016

I have no idea what was done to "bump up" this well. I could not find a sundry form that could explain the much better production starting one year ago.

• 22342, 1,142, MRO, Lorene Stohler 11-3TFH, 30 stages; 2 million lbs; 39 feet; relatively high gas; ; t9/12; cum 48K 8/16 not sure why this is such a lousy well;

This was a lousy well from the very beginning, despite a great IP. Back in 2014 this well was producing less than 500 bbls/month, assuming that it was even on-line. The operator applied for stripper well status back in November, 2014.

It's very likely a work over rig went back in, found a correctable problem, and corrected it. I don't know.

For newbies, the fourth column is the number of bbls of crude oil produced in the month. For example, for 11/2015, 2,473 bbls of crude oil were produced compared to 338 bbls in the month of 6/2015.

Flashback: "Bakken Well Efficienty Has Topped Out."

I Love My Kitchen

When we moved into a new apartment (in the same complex) we had a new stove, with one of those newfangled porcelain tops. I was always letting stuff boil over and the top of the porcelain stove became more and more difficult to clean. It seemed every time I cooked on the stove, May got angry at me for letting things boil over.

So, some months ago, I got out the portable grill and the "5th burner" which I bought at the local grocery store for a few bucks. I no longer use the stove for anything.

The 5th burner and the griddle are all I need. I currently have an indoor grill I got "free" from Amazon, but have since upgraded to a much nicer indoor grill made in Japan which I have not yet taken out of the box. When I do, I will post a photo.

Here's a photo of the 5th burner.
