QEP Talks About Re-Fracking, 3Q17 Earnings Transcript -- October 28, 2017

I'll get back to this when I can, but the transcript for 3Q17 QEP earnings has been posted. A reader noted this from the transcript:
Additionally, we completed and turned to sales four refractured wells on Fort Berthold.
And those four wells were completed, three of them were in the Middle Bakken and one was in the first bench of the Three Forks.
All four of the refractured wells were originally stimulated to what we would call a Gen-1 type completion and that’s a 31 to 34 stages, they were all sliding sleeve completions originally and they had an average proppant concentration of a little over 300 pounds per lateral foot.
Just as we do on our successful refrac program in the Haynesville, we ran and cemented a string of casing inside the existing sliding sleeve casing string. Then we did a traditional plug and perf restimulation over 30 to 31 stages with an average proppant concentration of approximately 1,000 pounds per lateral foot.
Prior to the restimulating these wells, the four of them were averaging about a 112 barrels of oil equivalent per day per well. The average peak 30-day uplift from the four refractured wells were 627 barrels of oil equivalent per-day per well, that’s about 81% oil, over the pre-refrac production levels.
Likely candidates, all in Heart Butte (there may be other candidates) (I will fill in the rest of the data later):
  • 20964, 1,035, QEP, MHA 1-32-33H-148-92, Heart Butte, t1/12; cum 230K 10/17;
  • 20965, 810, QEP, MHA 3-32-33H-148-92, Heart Butte, t1/12; cum 146K 10/17;
  • 23093, 2,052, QEP, MHA 3-06-31H-150-92, Heart Butte, t9/13; cum 333K 10/17;
  • 23097, 2,512, QEP, MHA 2-06-31H-150-92, Heart Butte, t9/13; cum 364K 8/17; (see production profile below); according to FracFocus (API 33-025-01754), fracked in 2013; and re-fracked 6/18/17 - 6/29/2017;
  • 24209, 2,854, QEP, MHA 5-04-33H-150-92, Heart Butte, t5/13; cum 235K 10/17;
For newbies, this gets us back into an interesting discussion regarding re-fracking. There are several questions:
  • how does re-fracking change thinking about EURs?
  • how many times can a well be re-fracked?
  • what does re-fracking "mean" for primary production?
  • how does re-fracking affect all this talk about "Tier 1" drilling locations? (which I think is hopeful thinking by the Saudis)
Something tells me Harold Hamm would have a lot to say about all this.

These re-fracks are not one-hit wonders. LOL.
