Huge Jump In Production After Neighboring Well Fracked -- CLR -- Elm Tree -- June 5, 2017

Updates

August 27, 2017: production updated. 

Original Post 

On February 17, 2017, I wrote:

• February 7, 2017: #18224, huge well; went off-line 11/16; #30336 (API: 33-053-06616). Probably getting ready to frack nearby. A CLR Hendrickson well.

I just checked FracFocus and yes, indeed, #30336 was fracked in January, 2017. Pretty cool.

Monthly Production Data for #30336 (updated since original post):

What about the older, previously producing well, #18224 (API: 33-053-03040)? This is the production prior to #30336 being fracked and the production following that well being fracked:

• 18224, 960, CLR, Hendrickson 1-36H, Elm Tree, t12/09; cum 705K 7/18;

That's a huge production jump. Let's see if the well was re-fracked at the same time as #30366. FracFocus does not show any data that this well was re-fracked. In addition, there is no sundry form showing this well to have been re-fracked.

If, indeed, this well was not re-fracked, the jump in production is quite extraordinary after coming back on line. 

CLR's Anna Wells Have Been Fracked; Still On SI/NC Status; Should Have Results Soon -- June 5, 2017

The "previous note" below was posted April 25, 2017. In that note, I suggested that one should watch the status of #23279 -- when it comes off-line, that might suggest neighboring wells were about to be fracked.

Now, tonight, I notice that #23279 went off-line 12/16, and is now back on line as of April, 2017 (most recent data). It was on-line for 2 days in April, 2017, and produced 607 bbls of oil. The other wells (#30157, #30156, #30155, #30154, #32969, #32968, #32967, #32966) are still listed as SI/NC, but they all show one to three days of very minimal production, something I often see in wells that have just been fracked but not yet "brought up to speed" or tested.

That suggests the wells have been fracked. 

So, where else can we check? Yup. FracFocus. And there we have it. I only checked one well, but FracFocus shows that #30157 was indeed fracked (2/25/17 - 3/18/17). How cool is that?

Note to self: this is simply a random note posted as an update. This post will not be updated.

Previous Note Regarding CLR's Anna Well Pad In Last Chance Oil Field

Random update on some wells that a reader was interested in some months ago.

The "original note":

• February 15, 2017: CLR's Anna well pad; a reader asked about them; all wells are SI/NC, but sundry form suggests CLR planned to complete them 1/17, but no evidence yet that is occurring. #30157, #30156, #30155, #30154, #32969, #32968, #32967, #32966. Watch for #23279 coming off-line -- that will be hint that wells are about to be fracked. [Update, #23279 came off-line 1/17.]

As noted above, #23279 is now off-line, suggesting that the CLR Anna well pad could soon be completed. Just a hunch.

Note to self: this is simply a random note posted as an update. This post will not be updated.

The Incredible Statoil Skarston Wells Have Been Updated -- June 5, 2017

About half of the Skarston wells that were taken off line 12/16 are back on-line; about half are still off-line. Incredible production continues for those back on-line.

Oops! We Did It Again! June 5, 2017

See this post of May 23, 2017 -- the Brits monitor terrorism but don't do much about it.

Now, both MI5 and Scotland Yard admit they "had" the London Bridge jihadist in their grasp but let him go.
