Random Look At Production Jump In QEP Wells As Part Of The Company's Re-Frack Program -- March 31, 2018

I went through QEP's "oldest" 193 permits/file reports to see if I could get some insight into their re-frack program.

The 193 permits started with #16652, and ended with #25860.

• the oldest permit: #16652, drilled back in 2007; jump in production in 2016, but likely not due to re-frack
• the most recent permit: #25860; has not been re-fracked

A quick look, based on production profile, suggested these wells, of the 193 wells I looked at, 12 might have been re-fracked based on jumps in production:

• Heart Butte, #24207, #24209
• Heart Butte, #23097
• Heart Butte, #23093
• Blue Buttes, #21564
• Heart Butte, #20964,
• Grail, #20780
• Blue Buttes, #20591
• Deep Water Creek, #20271 
• Deep Water Creek, #19683
• Deep Water Creek, #18991
• Deep Water Creek, #17940

I may have missed some and it's possible some of these were not re-fracked (but if not, hard to explain huge jump in production)

[An aside" I thought these wells were re-fracked but it turns out that despite how "old" these permits were, these wells were fracked for the first time in early 2017: Heart Butte, #25407 - #25412.]
