"Focus On Fracking" Due Out Later This Evening -- March 22, 2020

Later this evening we should see the weekly update of "Focus on Fracking."

In anticipation, I re-read parts of last week's update, dated March 15, 2020.

I was particularly interested in two items:

• the recent purge by Prince MBS; and, 
• the effect of the coronavirus on the kingdom.

I had completely missed this and was curious what the status was:

The fall in oil prices follows Riyadh’s temporary suspension of the Umrah pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, and a ban on entry to the kingdom for pilgrims, to sterilize the religious sites to halt the spread of the new coronavirus.

[For] Saudi’s corporate elite, the pilgrimage guarantees a steady flow of income, lucrative construction contracts and the growth of luxury hotel chains around the holy mosque. A 10-day Hajj package trip, from specially licensed agencies with close connections to the ruling family, can cost around $7,000 not including the presents that the pilgrims are expected to buy for their families.

This is a huge loss of revenue for the kingdom if the "temporary" halt becomes permanent. I'm not sure how it cannot be permanent. The kingdom could delay the pilgrimage for months, but latent virus, which surely exists, could come roaring back -- and those foreign pilgrims would return to their homes (e.g., EU, UK, and US) potentially sparking a second wave of Wuhan flu.

Mini Re-Fracks

When the Broderson DUCs were fracked, three older Broderson underwent small mini re-fracks. Production profile for two of the three below; the third previously posted -- see link above. For the expense of a very small re-frack Equinor got a very, very nice #24411 (below0:

• 24413, a mini-refrack in 2019; 1.5 million lbs of 100-mesh sand, just like #24372:

Random Update Of Wells Coming Off Line -- March 22, 2020

XTO FBIR Blackmedicine:

• Unless I'm missing something, these wells -- the XTO FBIR Blackmedicine wells -- look like incredibly poor wells -- except for the very first one. I noted that two of the wells have just come off line.

• These are good wells in Clear Creek oil field. It appears that they are all coming off line; some have been offline for a few months now. Nothing on the map to explain why, although I might have missed something.
