Didn't Range stay on teh Gibbs Brothers well for a long time?

Hope there isn't an overriding technical issue prevent long horizontals.

 No personal knowledge on that well but "MIKE" posted back in April on the Walker Co discussion about it taking a LONG time fishing etc.

Apparently the lateral on the Range Gibbs Bros 1H was porpoised/corkscrewed.  They had tubing and who knows what else stuck in the hole.  That's why Range was on the well so long...they were fishing for a very, very long time after the frac trying to save the well.  They did recover 400bbls/oil but we don't know under what time and well conditions.  Again, we heard that the well was so restricted that nothing could freely flow. The Range well is completed in the "Pepper Shale" (a/k/a Maness Woodbine Shale) which is a different and deeper/thicker Eagle Ford/Woodbine section vs that found to the north/northwest in Grimes, Madison & Leon where they're playing the shallower Woodbine "A".

I would think we'd be getting some word out of the SM well by now.  Here's some info. I just received on the Apollo Gibbs 1H (completed in the Georgetown; on-strike w/Iola Field in Grimes):  

• The well was recently stimulated and flare tested (supposedly, per-flowback, flare-tested at 5MMCFPD).
• The well is currently shut-in, waiting on hook-up for pipeline (should be next week).
• (2x) 300-bbl oil tanks were installed.
• (1x) 210-bbl water tank was installed.
• An amine plant has been installed (size unknown; this would give an idea on the volumes of gas production).
• A JT unit has been installed.
• A bullet tank has been installed.

Question: what's a JT unit? what's a bullet tank?

JT unit is a type of system to separate NGL's from the gas - particularly ethane, propane, butane, pentane.  

The bullet tank is a moderately high pressure tank used to store the NGL's - if put into the regular oil tanks, they would simply evaporate.  Bullet tank is often white or silver, and would probably appear to be an oversized propane tank.

If the tank ratios hold, they are in a fairly low water area, with decent condensate and NGL's - probably profitable if the preflare test is correct.

Thanks Mike for an "Above And Beyond" report

  Way back last fall I was hearing that the Range Well was completed in the Woodbine Dexter ??      --- Looks like you may have better info

This SM well no longer showing up on Rig Data they must have finally finished drilling it
