EOG has permitted a SWD well in the North Bayou Jack Field.

Haven't heard anything on the EOG well - you mention gas lift. Where did you hear that?

I would expect EOG would be considering gas lift as an option for artificial lift in this well - although I would have thought that they would consider installing a downhole ESP instead of a gas lift system.

Check my earlier comments on this blog about reasons for decrease in well performance. A well like this will not flow on its own at optimum rates - it will need some help in unloading all the fluid in the wellbore / lateral and producing. This is where artificial lift technology comes into play. A simple rod pump will not move enough fluid to unload this wellbore sufficiently. And setting up either downhole ESP's or gas lift takes time and effort to get things set up correctly. This all impacts rate until things are running smoothly

Anybody heard any news on Eagle Ranch well?  GASLIFT???

Comment by Hydrocarbonite on February 10, 2018 at 1:07

Any lease details being published for any of the parishes in this group ? 

Comment by William C. Morrison on February 7, 2018 at 10:04

Craig, Littleasy is correct, there was a proposed second well to be drilled and it fell through since LaCour #43 turned out poorly.  But there was an existing well with a short lateral at the same location.  I think they have both been abandoned.  I think that was an Anadarko well and it was poorly drilled and set up.  I think the long lateral was not cased and it probably collapsed or something similar.  Could have been a poor frack job, I do know they went back in and did an acid job on it.  We were disappointed as our place is about seven miles as the crow flies from that well.  Any the current lease on our place is held by EOG, in past we had Chesapeake (glad they are out of the picture) and Santa Fe (which eventually turned into Anadarko).  We hope EOG has better technology and can figure out how to get the crude out of the ground.  I would get excited if they did a 3D seismic study in our area but as yet I have not heard anything like that.  I would consider that a necessary precursor to any drilling activity.

Highly variable early production as well as steep production decline is to be expected for "unconventional" reservoirs like the AC. The drop off here could tied to multiple issues or a combination of issues:

  • Natural decline in production
  • Well initially flowing and losing pressure and production rate before being shifted to some sort of artificial lift
  • If artificial lift is already installed, problems with that system
  • Problems with gathering system / take away capacity

It is best not to get too concerned with how a well is producing month to month early on - it is the long term trend that is more important.

EOG is looking closely at this too (and obviously knows all the details). Odds are they won't be drilling and completing another well until they get a better idea of the AC production trend and EUR projections from this well

Any word on the sharp drop off in production from EOG's Eagles Ranch well in Avoyelles? Production reported on SONRIS for the month of October is down 50% from September's production.

I believe that it was never drilled.

Chip 

On that petroquest presentation it shows a second lacour well. I was under the mpression they never drilled that second well. I saw it staked out when I visited way back then but thought that was as far as it went. What do you know about it?
