I sure wish I could find out what's going on with H1 and B1. XTO is no help at all.
Based on how this well's production crashed (42-405-30559), I would have to say that there was a downhole catastrophic failure taking place/ Casing collapse either near the heel of the lateral or in the vertical / curve section of the wellbore.
Something that could not be fixed despite all the rig efforts that were observed.
And unless you have wording in your lease that requires operator to share info, there is no reason for XTO to share any information with the mineral owners.
Could this section be re-drilled - yes. But odds are the economics on remaining gas that could be recovered from this partially depleted part of the reservoir are not favorable at today's prices.
Not what anyone wants to hear - sorry about that.
Then I guess I'll just be glad that they at least decided to drill a new one from the other end of the plat.
Gas production in October 2022 for the KEYDETS-A 47 4H well was 806,478 MCF. This compares with a maximum one-month production for the BSI KEYDETS DU H1 and B1 wells of 540,063 MCF in January 2019.
The average Henry Hub spot price for October was 5.66 $/MMBTU. Assuming XTO pays 5 $/MCF, the October 2022 gas production would be worth about 4 million dollars.
Yep - minus taxes and any production related expenses and fees (for those who don't have cost free leases).
Bigger fracs creating these really high early production volumes - will be interesting to see production decline rate over next 12-18 months.
Cool! Thanks Wyo Guy!
You're welcome, Mister Sunday. Do you think XTO will pay royalties for this gas later this month? That would be an excellent Christmas present!
Yes I think this gets reported to RRC two months behind and then we should see the check around the 25th. Maybe a little earlier if you have DD.
Thanks, I hope you're right. Just wondering if there might be a delay of the normal timing with this being a new well.
All that is subject to change at XTOs whim. It's been so long since I've seen a payment, I'm not sure I'm right.
Just as an aside, if there is a check for this month, the information(check stub) usually gets posted on energylink.com on the twentieth
Shale drilling and lithium extraction are seemingly distinct activities, but there is a growing connection between the two as the world moves towards cleaner energy solutions. While shale drilling primarily targets…

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
