Idle Rambling -- MRO Re-Fracks In Bailey -- Incredible -- July 22, 2018

Wow, it just never quits. Last year (2/2017)  I noted:
  • 16735, a nice well; off-line since 2/17; neighboring MRO wells about to be fracked?
Checking up on this well tonight, let's look at this production profile. But before we do that, time for a video:

Now, back to the production profile of #16735. Is this not awesome! "Predicted" one year ago -- I doubt any other blogger did that. LOL:

Regular readers know the first thing we need to do.

CHECK FracFocus, API - 33-025-00649: yup, re-fracked, 7/9/17 - 7/27/17; 4.2 million gallons of water; 84.55% water. Only 4.2 million gallons -- about half what they usually use in an initial frack. According to the operator, data for re-frack:
  • date of test: 8/30/17
  • new IP: 2,257 (nice)
  • middle Bakken
  • 45 stages
  • 5.7 million lbs (medium re-frack)
  • only 127K lbs of proppant per stage (generally, an initial frack uses 200K sand / stage)
So, again, another MRO-re-frack in Bailey oil field. This is so predictable one wonders if MRO has a VP for re-fracking old Bailey wells. If so, whatever she is being paid, she's not being paid enough. LOL. Wow, these wells must give Art Berman and Jane Nielson heartburn. Tums.

Which brings us to another song: I would rather die young than to live without you, I would rather go hungry than to eat lonesome stew; .... once in a lifetime, and it won't come again .... it's here and it's gone ... on a magnolia wind ....

Wow, these Bakken wells have a story to tell. 

For newbies: these Bakken wells will produce for seventy years -- and during their lifetime: re-works; mini-re-fracks; neighboring wells will be fracked; major re-fracks; re-entry to go after different formations; etc; etc.

Disclaimer: I am inappropriately exuberant about the Bakken.
