Again, Another Look At A Most Interesting QEP State Well In The Grail -- October 22, 2016

Updates

January 7, 2017: be sure to read the original post. After that, I started following that well. Here are my notes:

December 16, 2014: noted this monster well has been inactive for past few months --
18973, 2,579, QEP/Helis, State 1-16/21H, Blue Buttes, t10/10; cum 639K 10/16; inactive 4/14; looks like it might be back on line as of 10/14; yes, now shown to be active, 12/14; huge jump in production in 12/14; coming back on line after permission to commingle production from multiple wells; large production number could be due to 'mis-allocation' during early commingling; random update, March 20, 2015; random update, May 7, 2015; major update here, December 15, 2015; same link, updated August 7, 2016; updated here, October 22, 2016 -- is a neighboring refrack responsible for this? Check up on #28168 -- QEP says it plans to re-complete. API: 33-053-05828.

According to FracFocus, the neighboring well #28168 was re-fracked 9/18-21/2015, which correlates exactly when the well below jumped from 7,000 bbls/month to 20,000 bbls/month. This well was off-line for less than a full month; but after the neighboring well was fracked, it's production jumped 3-fold. The production jump was not sustained. Other neighboring wells showed a similar bump in production.

If I remember, I will come back to this one; there's quite a bit more to be said about this one.

Original Post

We've talked about these wells on numerous occasions: the QEP Energy State wells in the Grail oil field, section 16-150-95.

The production profiles of all the wells are quite remarkable, but this well is most intriguing:

Note the new bump in production in September, 2015. I didn't see anything in the file report that would explain the bump. One of the five wells is off-line (inactive, #28168 -- according to a sundry form received June, 2015, there were problems with the frack and QEP plans to "recomplete" the well." It will be interesting to see the dates when #28168 is recompleted).
