I posted this earlier, when it came off the confidential list, but it was part of a longer post. I want to post this as a stand-alone post so it can be highlighted at the sidebar at the right. We didn't have the frack data at the original post. Here's the pertinent frack data: 56 stages; 11.4 million lbs; Three Forks, first bench;

Note: looking at the NDIC map, a Slawson well, under the lake, looks like the horizontal was a full three-section lateral, or a "3-mile well." The MRO wells looks like the horizontal, also under the lake, was 2.5 sections or a "2.5-mile well."
In the same area:
- 32973, 9,061, MRO, Joshua USA 13-23TFH-2B, Three Forks B2, 56 stages; 11.4 million lbs, Reunion Bay, t9/18; cum 393 12/19; 11.6 million gallons of water; 89% by weight; see this post with production profile;
That is one significant well, but besides the extreme fluctuations in volume I think the oil vs water produced is almost barrel for barrel. Is there some communication between the lake and the TFH formation??
ReplyDeleteI can't answer that. I've never understood the water issue. It's not unique to horizontal drilling. Another reader has often noted the same high water production. On a side note, anecdotally, it seems I've recently seen more permits for salt water disposal wells than what I've considered baseline.
DeleteA year ago we were in Fairview/Sydney MT area and visited one of the Kraken wells my wife has a small interest in. What I found interesting they were using separated well water from several producing wells for completing several different new wells via both trucking and temporary pipelines.
ReplyDeleteThank you; very, very interesting. I recently posted that Kraken is reporting some incredible wells. I'm sure you are counting your blessings. Good luck on this well and many others.
