Update Of The XTO Arlene Federal Wells -- September 21, 2022

Memo to self:

• the XTO Teddy Federal wells are extended long laterals (three sections) and they run south-to-north, paralleling the Arlene Federal wells (see below). The Teddy Federal wells are not yet showing any production data (at least of the ones I checked), with one exception:
• 19908, 1,308, XTO, Teddy Federal 12X-5, North Fork, t8/11; cum 311K 7/22; this well is a "standard) two-section well; not an extended lateral (three section); it has also not been off line recently suggesting the newer Terry Federal wells on that same pad have not yet been fracked.

The XTO Arlene Federal wells are tracked here.

I posted initial results last month. A reader suggested I take another look now that we've had a full month of production for these wells. The reader says this is the highest production they've seen in this area in all the years of production.

So, here is a production update:

Whiting With Two New Permits: MRO Reports Two Huge DUCs -- July 21, 2020

EU stimulus package: close, but no cigar. $572 billion. Won't be nearly enough. "Green" focused. Really, really bad news. For the EU. LOL.

WTI: up 2.82%; up over a buck; trading at $41.96 and, then, a speed bump -- large, and again (how many times have we heard this?), an unexpected crude oil build. The API consensus, predicted an inventory draw of almost 2 million bbls. In fact a whopping increase in crude oil inventories: 7.5 million bbls. If they were basing their estimate on the declining number of rigs, it sort of expalins how they missed the number.
