Thanks. Looks like that is the initial test results. if you go back to Robert’s post of November 4, he explains how those numbers drop off quickly. I doubt that those wells are that productive today. I hope they are as that is close to our land, but we are already seeing the reality of it all. I am hoping for better news from the two horizontal’s west of Wellman. that is going to be the indicator if there is going to be any more drilling in the area.
RHH; … Sometimes that’s the case (that the production falls off) after the wells are pumped for a few months. But that is not always the case.
My family has a producing well right now that was pumping so much salt water that the operator couldn’t even afford to extract the oil because there were no disposal wells anywhere in the vicinity and he could not drill one.
Accordingly, he hired a geologist to determine the exact depth where most of the salt water was coming in, plugged out that portion of the perforation and then the production tripled, while the salt water production tricked down to very encouraging numbers.
This was more than ten years ago and the well is still pumping very strong. Also remember that when it comes to the shale formation, the wisdom of the geologist is more important than the amount of oil present. A bad geologist can completely destroy an excellent oil well if they happen to make the wrong calls.
You can do some on line research on that subject matter that just might scare the hell out of you. In other words, the amount of trust you must place in the geologist, in which you have absolutely no control over.
It’s just like having a bad doctor; get a good one and you live; get a bad one and you die.
Understand. just hoping that hte 14 vertical wells w&t drilled in 2011 gave the data to find and locate the best zones of oil. will know by the end of the year once they complete fracing on the two wells they have drilled west of Wellman. Hope we all have great news in 2013!!!
permit on noble 134 horizontal 16500 nov 28 I think proctor is fracked and wtoffshore rig completed 2nd horiz all this week all I hear is nothing bad
Is petrohawk doing anything in the area, I have a friend with a lease in Lynn county with petrohawk
Petrohawk must not be planning to move out of Terry county anytime soon, since they just now extended their lease with us for another 2 yrs.
Robert, … “that” I do not know but I certainly hope so.
Looking at the Texas RR Commission website, it appears that bhpbilliton has not applied for a drilling permit in Terry County, during the past 12 months.
Petrohawk was recently bought out by bhpbilliton but for some reason, Petrohawk issued the checks for our 2 yr extention on the original oil lease.
Know what you mean. I was going over there this weekend but it fell threw. the first well west of Wellman should be finished fracing by now. Going to have to wait it out.
I know I am slow I getting old was in bf last week the wt ofshore frack was in back flow but the flow was being replaced with pump on friday pump was to be set at 1700 so I was told they said that the flow had slowed down but they said ( that was what they had wanted it to do) and that pump would be set the next day. the proctor sanded down and had been pump pulled and formation flushed with niterogen by Titan and the pipe was being run back in hole when I left bf saterday.all cofee shop talk was watch and wait.got some new bird dogs watching for me in bf while I am headed to Austin. Oh power co was in progress of running new power 3/4 mile line to proctor.also have bunch of good pictures of proctor and titans rigs one 9 axel truck boy this new equipment is somthing else.
Sure has been a quiet forum lately and I hate it because I know good news usually travels fast.
Todays Brownfield News Paper had the results of Trail Mountains horizontal well section 41 Block E Trudgen Lease. 24 hr test was 106 bpd
FYI…
A company by the name of CIMAREX informed us that they are exercising the 2 yr extension option in our agreement with them, but haven’t heard of any plans of going onto the property.
by the way no matter what is being said I would to say that these oil co are putting their money on the line big time and multa millions only a guess but Emprea over 50 mill on proctor 90 days drilling 60 plus in frack and just geting started on flow back with probably 100 th b frack we are all looking for a merry merry christmas I would lease everything I have to empresa.
Robert T,
The water that is being spoken about is the water that was injected during the fracking stage. Now it is coming back out so once all of the “frack water” has been recovered then and only then will they be able to see what the oil/water ratio is. These oil companies are using newer technologies, drilling into new strata and spending more money than back in the 60’s ,70’s & 80’s. Only time will tell what the real oil potential is! I do know that Brownfield that was a town slowly drying up has seen a boom of industry and cash flowing that hasn’t been there for decades as are other towns around.
Well I guess 106 bpd is bad news for the oil company since it’s a horizontal well but the mineral owner will still get rich off those kind of numbers.
I still figure the production rates will pick up significantly once the geologist learn more about various pay formations.
Seems like all the oil companies are paying to extend their oil leases and that’s a positive.
So to clarify. The W&T well west of Wellman was flowing at 1700. is that as in bbl of oil per day?
no the pump was to be set a 1700 ft that would be from well head to the length of horizontal length probable to a take point the amount that the pump will pump was not talked about . the flow back is the amount of water that was pumped into the well until it is recovered no one can tell what the well will do barrels of water or barrels of oil only guess each well can have its own % of water oil everyone will guess different look at the production on existing wells on rrc pick a well near to you as you can 106bopd not much but is it flowing or being pumped 1200bpd oil and water 200 oil 1000 water ?? what do they do with that much water inject it into injection well haul it or pipe it to wherever sell 200 per day all ???
Ok. you had me excited for a moment…
What they do with the water is that they set up a a central point in the field to receive the water that is separated from the oil. I don’t know how that is done to separate the oil and water in the field, but then they haul off the water. In Lubbock country, my family had some property and Shell drilled a well that produced 10 bpd of oil and 70 bpd of water. Shell shut the well down after a couple of years because of the expense of removing all the water versus the limited production. The well started out at 25 bpd and dropped to 10 bpd of oil within 6 months. So when you are saying 200 bpd oil to 1000 bpd of water, sorry but that ain’t good.
