February 9, 2019: production data for the three Austin wells at the bottom of this page has been updated. 

December 1, 2018, from an earlier post: October 3, 2018: #16990. The well:
  • 16990, 3,744, EOG, Austin 5-14H, Parshall, a single section/short lateral well, TD = 14,693 feet; t5/08; cum 703K 12/18, recent production:

Later, 6:37 p.m. CDT: a reader reminded me there were many reasons that a well can come off-line -- not simply due to one reason like neighboring activity. The reader wrote:
Our mineral trust has an interest in the ****** wells in the Grinnell field that were shut down during June and brought back up in August, i.e., about 40 days. Calls to folks in the oil business brought several ideas, the most logical being that producers will often shut down a well when there is a well in a neighboring pool being fracked. Said to help prevent issues with the lines. When the ****** wells came back on line in August, I located the well files for them on the NDIC site and found that the reason for the shutdown was a need to repair tubes and relocate some of the pumps. Anyway, thought this would add to the inventory of reasons why a well might be shutdown. 
Much appreciated; I was pretty naive thinking the only reason a well was shut in was due to neighboring activity. Along that line, it is amazing how incredible this technology is that, for the most part, these wells just keep on pumping, day in and day out, seemingly, for months and years.


Original Post

This well has been driving me nuts. This is a great well. Why was it taken off-line. Nothing is going on in the immediate area? So why was this well taken off line?

The well:
  •  16990, 3,744, EOG, Austin 5-14H, Parshall, t5/08; cum 689K 8/18 -- a short lateral; data updated above; won't be updated here;

The graphic -- nothing going on in this area. Why was this well taken off line?



Well, I made a mistake. I didn't look far enough out.

Expanding the graphic:


These three wells have been drilled to depth but are still on the conf list but there indications they have been completed/fracked; if not it looks like they might be close to being fracked; FracFocus does not have any frack data when I checked today (October 3, 2018). Generally, when I see production profiles like those below, the wells have been fracked, so we'll see, but at least for me, I understand why a great well was taken off line even though no activity in immediate area:
