Gary, after the well is fraced a small workover rig is used to drill out the plugs in order to test the well and turn it to sales.

Gary, they may be referring to a coiled tubing unit that is utilized after a well is frac'ed.  Do you know if Chesapeake has completed the fracture stimulation of the well?

Les I don't know. Here is what I do know they Trinidad 103 was there drilling and they it spud on 5-27-11 and the well status as of 07-15-11 is 09 from the report I'm looking at. Please help me to understand.  Thank you Gary

Gary, the available information just indicates the drilling of the well has been completed and that is the reason Trinidad 103 is no longer on location.  The next stage will be for Chesapeake to schedule the fracture stimulation of the well.  Once the pumping equipment and tanks are on location the actual frac'ing of the well should take about one week.  So just be on the look-out for the equipment being moved on location if it has not already occurred.

I'm not sure. Trinidad 103 was drilling and all I know it is not showing up on the drilling location list. I talk to someone this morning at Sonris and she said that they spud the well and maybe they are waiting on a smaller rig to finish it.

Gary,  SONRIS Lite hasn't been able to keep up with timely drilling reports in two years.  Between delays in operators turning in reports and an overworked and short staffed SONRIS division many wells reach TD (Total Depth) and the rig is gone from the location before they are ever shown as spud on SONRIS Lite.  The Trinidad #103 was shown 50 days drilling on my RigData Weekly Rig Report on July 15 and was not listed on the July 22 report.  It is highly unlikely that this well has been fraced because of the substantial backlog of wells drilled to TD and waiting on Completion (frac).  Hundreds in fact.  You'll just have to be patient a little longer.

Two more stages left on the frac.  The frac will be complete today, that is if there are no unexpected problems.

The frac was completed on Friday.  Assuming pipeline is in place, it should be turned to sales very soon.

Thanks JR for the information. I was looking at the well information yesterday and it said it was waiting on coil tubing. Can someone tell me what thats means, is it good or bad? I think it means that the well is under alot of pressure. Also what are the next steps to put it on line. I'm new at this so I hope I'm not asking alot of dumb question.  Thanks Gary

Gary, this is referring to the coiled tubing unit that is utilized to drill out the plugs in well casing between each frac stage.  This is the last step before placing the well on production.

 

Your questions are good.
