Random Update Of A Re-Fracked MRO Well -- January 3, 2019

Later, March 11, 2019, this this post also

This page will not be updated. [Memo to self: in a couple of months, look at #16686 and look at the NDIC map.]

From an earlier note:
  • November 27, 2018: #17568, neighboring MRO wells in Reunion Bay fracked;
  • 17568, 539, MRO, Charles Shobe - USA 44-19H, Reunion Bay, t2/09; cum 275K 11/18;
So, let's see what #17568 is doing. Remember, this well was first drilled/completed back in 2009. See this note for my comments regarding the Bakken

So, what's recent production for #17568, a well that is nine years old? By conventional rules, Hubbert peak oil theory the production from this well should continue to decline.

First, the original production profile back in 2009:

Pretty unimpressive, huh? The best it did after original completion: 6,000 bbls. La-de-dah!

Now, let's see recent production profile:

If you own minerals in this well, do you really care if UTS oil has a problem as suggested by that WSJ article? LOL. I would be thrilled to have mineral rights in this well. LOL.

I don't even care, from a mineral owner's point of view, why the well jumped in production.

If I'm interested in learning about the Bakken and learning about the Bakken revolution, then I would be curious to see why this well jumped in production. It had to have been re-fracked, but let's check.

API: 33-061-00849.

Yup, re-fracked, 7/16/2018 - 7/26/2018. The NDIC doesn't have the recent re-frack data, but FracFocus does. This was an incredibly small re-frack: only 5.7 million gallons of water; and 89% water by mass.

So, another example. For the relatively small cost of a small refrack, MRO has "another" new well.

Yeah, "fracking has a problem" -- the WSJ.

By the way,
  • 30,000 bbls over 12 days extrapolates to: 75,000 bbls in one month
  • 39,000 bbls over 18 days extrapolates to: 65,000 bbls in one month
  • 25,000 bbls over 15 days extrapolates to: 50,000 bbls in one month
So, why did this well only produce half a month for three months in a row? Anyone's guess. Perhaps the company is managing its assets. Perhaps the tanks fill in half a month. I don't know. A mineral owner is probably not particularly concerned. He/she's just upset that this happened with $40 oil.

Wow, this gets tedious.
