More Gages For DAPL At The Reservation -- That Was Easy -- February 1, 2017

You mean that's it? A couple of extra gages and everyone's happy? You have got to be kidding. Reminds me of Roseanne Rossannadanna ("never mid") on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" many, many years ago.

A screen shot of the on-line "front-page" of The Bismarck Tribune:



For such a quick conclusion, the casino must have been losing a lot of money, as well as some charities for Native Americans.

CORRECTION: Most Likely A TYPO: EOG Reports A Huge Well In The Parshall -- February 1, 2017

Updates

February 6, 2017: see first comment. This is most likely a typo. Again, instead of re-typing everything -- read the first comment.
 
IP: Most Likely A Typo
SEE FIRST COMMENT 


Original Post

When you look at the first screenshot below, look how far east this well is and the IP. I've noticed a couple of EOG wells reporting huge initial production at the eastern edge of the Bakken. I remember early on in the boom, folks were saying that it was unlikely to get great wells this far east. Probably true, but it is nice to see a well with this IP this far east. Also note that it is a short lateral, although being sited in the adjacent section, it's a bit longer than the typical EOG short lateral, which makes the IP of 5,224 for crude oil even more impressive. All things being equal, one wonders what the IP would have been had the horizontal been a long lateral.

The well:
  • 29635, 5,224, EOG, Parshall 164-3332H, Parshall, s12/19/16; TD, 12/27/16; TD = 16,184 feet (short lateral); 1280-acre spacing; "Bakken, NOS"; middle Bakken; t12/16, cum 3K 12/16;
  • need to follow up on this: water, 5 bbls water, initial production; IP MCF, 250; no natural gas flared; all sold
  • API: 33-061-03346
  • FracFocus: 10/25/16 - 11/26/16; 3.340 million gallons of water; 21.83% sand by mass
  • one gallon of water weighs: 8.3454 lbs
  • 3.340 million gallons of water, 21.83% by weight sand, per FracFocus:
  • 78.7% of what =  27,871,224 pounds of water = 35,414,516 pounds total water + sand
  • 21.83% = 7,730,989 lbs of sand
  • a lot of sand for a relatively short lateral; equates to about 18 million lbs in a long lateral, I suppose




A neighboring well sited in the same section (need to follow-up in a few months):
  • 17621, IA/1,117, EOG, Parshall 17-33H, open hole, 8 stages, 700K lbs proppant "Bakken SS", 640-acre spacing, t8/09; cum 222K 11/16;

EV Sales For January Are Starting To Be Posted -- February 1, 2017

Link here.

The highlight: Chevrolet reported that the company sold four -- yes, four -- one, two , three, four -- Chevrolet Spark EVs. Truly amazing.

Cadillac? Three -- yes, three -- one, two, three -- Cadillac ELRs.

I think we've turned the corner.

Off The Net For Awhile; Tongue-In-Cheek; Not To Be Taken Seriously -- At Least Not Yet -- February 1, 2017

I'm consistently amazed how inefficient Mother Nature is. Or perhaps, how efficient Bakken tight shale operators are in comparison to Mother Nature.

It has been said that any well taken off-line for any significant period of time will show an increase in production once it's brought back on status. ("Significant period of time" in the oil patch is defined as about 3 - 8 months for purpose of this discussion.)

Here's an example of Mother Nature's inefficiency.

Note the peak production of this well after being fracked in the month of May, 2009: 11,976 bbls, which works out to 14,279 barrels for the full 31 days of the month (in fact, it would have been slightly less due to the severe decline rate of the Bakken).

After being fracked in 2009, after Mother Nature "shut-in" this well for a gazillion years, it's production was about 14,000 bbls in that first month, after which its production plunged to 2,000 bbls/month only six or seven months later.

However, a few years later, this well was taken off-line (not for a gazillion years as Mother Nature had done earlier) but for only a few months -- about six months in fact. After being taken off-line for only six months, look at the production in May, 2013: 14,798 bbls (for a 31-day month that would extrapolate to 15,291 bbls of crude oil.
[Just for the fun of it, boe:
May, 2009: 2,365 + 14,279 = 16,644 boe
May, 2013: 5,002 + 15,291 = 20,293 boe]
After being fracked in early 2009, this well was down to about 2,000 bbl of crude oil/month by the seventh month.

Note, after this well was taken off-line for six months, it's production surged, and remained well above 2,000 bbls of crude oil/month for the next two years, in fact jumping to over 4,000 bbls in two consecutive months. 

For newbies: this is all done with tongue in cheek. Pay no attention to this. It was just something that caught my attention: how much production in a Bakken well can improve by just taking it off-line for a few months. Of course, it begs a question. In fact, it begs a lot of questions.
