There appears to be some additional information on Amelia Resources blog about this well too.

I just read over the info / comments that Kirk has posted on his Amelia Resources blog site. This appears to be a series of his comments and opinions based on the completion info that is noted at the start of this discussion. Basically no new factual data posted there - but his main conclusion / point is similar to what we have noted here, i.e. trying to make any significant interpretations from this single "point in time" IP test is a impossible to do.

As he noted, the actual production record over time for this well will tell the story. Similar to what we have learned as to the EOG well.

Those two virtues are the key - the oilfield moves SLOW when it comes to things like this.

They are performing a shut-in pressure build up test for 8 days to assess the reservoir size.  Not a rumor, this is the truth

Les, thanks for that info - assume they are looking for reservoir section perm and related factors.

Yes, and the 60 bbl/d IP rate listed on the State's website was for the first day of flowback.  Essentially, that is the worst possible time to report a rate due to the unloading of the frac water.  I wanted to clear that up for the record as well. One more point, by shuting-in the well for 8 days the reported monthly production will look terrible. I believe that they are playing games because they have no incentive right now to say "hey everyone this is a great well"

This is the 2019 version of "tight hole" drilling. Early IP tests being filed, slow playing reporting info to state agencies, etc.

Keeping things close to the vest for multiple reasons (including trying to get a leg up on picking up or not picking up more acreage).

A bit different from the barbed wire and armed guards around drilling locations back in the 70's and 80's. And industry scouts doing all they could to get data!

May be waiting on the results from Hebert well on 421.

Les - 

Would this be a documented statement with Sonris or with another government entity?  Just trying to locate some type of written verification of this shut-in pressure test?

Thanks for the info - greatly appreciated!

Not speaking for Les, but items like this never get into state files. What we never see (and won't) are the operators' well files with all the data and notes.

Agree w/RM.  This type of information is rarely in the database.
