What we don't know (and never will know) are the details of the monthly production over time. Water rates, choke sizes, etc. Believe me, if the rates were such on this well that it was still economic, the well would not be shut in.

The IP rate works out to a 5.9% oil cut (210 BO & 3343 BW). If the same oil to water ratio was maintained, the 1000 BOPD rate would equate to almost 17,000 BW per day. The unknown facts are the key to understanding what is doing on here.

Comment by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on June 25, 2020 at 9:11

Allowables, as far as I know, are based on state flow tests.  There is no DT-1 test entered in the SONRIS Well File so I think that test would look much like the IP data:

COMPLETED 1/21/2020 AS AN OIL WELL W/ 210 BOPD; 1650 MCFD; 8200 FTP; 6063 SITP; 1300 CP; 18/64" CK; 3343 BWPD; 94% BS&W; 7857; GVTY 52 API; PERF: 16,157'-22,372'

Without a DT-1 date it is impossible to know how soon the test was done after the well was allowed to flow into a sales line.  So did oil and gas flow improve because the well "cleaned up" over time?  The lateral is 6215 linear feet.

Remember how high the initial water rate was on this well (10,000 bpd?). That info is not posted with monthly production. And I think the recent allowable posting is just the regular posting that state puts out regardless of well status. Skip may know more about that process.
Comment by David Crockett on June 25, 2020 at 6:02

I also saw on this well that they have posted an allowable and an estimated potential for July. Does that mean they have opened the well back up. There weren’t any allowable posted since March until the one for July. 

Comment by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on June 25, 2020 at 4:54

Looks correct, hope it is at 1000 barrels a day for February ( a 28 day period).  If the reported volume is correct, it makes the recent work order on the LM 3H seem a little puzzling.

By "cooler" I wonder if this was a surface unit to remove NGL's from gas stream via refrigeration approach (e.g. JT Unit). Having only 5 bbls (slightly over 200 gallons) of "spill" not a big deal based on my oilfield experiences. To temporarily abandon the wellbore because of this doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I may be missing something.

Comment by David Crockett on June 1, 2020 at 9:51

I see that on the crowell lm 30H Number 2 the cooler erupted at the well site during maintennce operations and discharged what appears to be less than 5 bbls of e&p waste (mist of crude oil and sw) to a wooded area behind the location.

so they had a verbal agreement to temporarily abandon the well set CIBP @ 14,800 feet dump 20-30' cmt on top run tubing hanger with 2 way check valve in wellbore close in manual and hydraulic 5 1/8" valves above wellhead  monitor well pressure

probably no big deal, but i don't know
