Random Look At QEP Wells in Grail Oil Field -- January 8, 2017

This is the second of two or three posts regarding the wells in the graphic below. The first post is here.

Today, I'm going to post the production profiles for two Three Forks wells on the west (left) side of the graphic.

These two wells are both Three Forks first bench wells, running in opposite directions. Although the north-running horizontal ends a bit closer to the site of the south-running well, the horizontals are about 1,000 feet apart. 

First, the more recently drilled/completed well, running south from the 3-well pad. Note the typical "Bakken decline curve and now interruption in production (except shortly after the well was complete). Also note the huge amount of proppant used, almost 10 million lbs. According to FracFocus, this well was fracked 2/22 - 25/2015:

• 28689, API: 33-053-06035, 2,712, QEP, State 3-16-21TFH, 39 stages, 9.4 million lbs, t3/15; cum 307K 11/16:

 *********************

Now, the production profile for the Three Forks well sited in the section to the south (site not shown in the graphic above), with the horizontal running north, parallel to the horizontal noted above, and ending in section 16 where the above well is sited:

In those earlier posts, I did not post data regarding this well running from the south, the singleton:

• 21564,  2,288, QEP, Levang Federal 14-21/16H, Blue Buttes (sic), 30 stages, 3.5 million lbs, t8/12; cum 587K 11/16;

This is the entire production profile which will become important later. Note the jump in production between September, 2015 (9-2015) and and December, 2015 (12-2015), just three months later. It should be noted that the well was off-line for less than four weeks. This was discussed in the first post in this series.
