Random Look At FracFocus Data For CLR's Miles 5-6H -- August 7, 2018

A reader asked if FracFocus ever makes a mistake.

The reader noted this:

According to FracFocus it looks like Miles 5-6H (#33233), API -- 33-053-07876, shows a total base water volume of 2.7 million gallons. The other ones that were fracked near the same time were in the 10 - 12 million gallon range.  

My reply, edited, paraphrased:

• FracFocus does "not" make mistakes (there are always exceptions to any rule)
• see this post: https://themilliondollarway.blogspot.com/2018/06/fracfocus-data-for-two-wells-currently.html;
• note the dates of the fracks of the well under discussion and two wells on same pad:
• Miles 5-6H: 33-053-07876 -- 3/10/2018 - 4/24/2018 which is way too long for a frack
• Kennedy 8-31H1: 33-053-07877 -- frack, 2/14/2018 - 3/8/2018
• Miles 6-6H2: 33-053-07875 -- frack, 3/10/2018 - 3/25/2018
• putting everything together, my opinion: 
• FracFocus did not make a mistake
• it's a failed frack (at least initially; we will have to wait for the official report to see where it stands; if the frackers were able to recover)

Had the dates of the frack suggested a normal timeline for a typical frack, then I would have suggested that CLR was simply testing the effect of fracking neighboring wells, and doing a "minimal frack" on this well, as a "science experiment."

The reader contacted CLR and provided this summary of that discussion:

I emailed the CLR Senior Analyst for this area as we just received division orders for them.  She stated that they had production in July, but I could not get any more information out of her as to numbers.  I guess we will just have to wait until the August pay stub to see what July produced.

Our older daughter bought me a gift from Trump Hotels during her recent trip to Chicago.

She said the folks at Trump Hotels were incredibly friendly and helpful.
