Understanding Flow Rate in New Format of East Texas Drilling Report?

I'm not understanding the new format of the east texas drilling report. I searched Lobos DU 1H in GHS & found info on an 11.1 IP for the well yet this week's newly formatted ETDR shows 33528 Mcf. How does that convert to 11.1 Mcf?  The depth doesn't match up either. Is this a mistake or am I missing something?

Old format of ETDR:

The Lobos DU Well No. 1H is six miles northwest of San Augustine in the Carthage Field. XTO Energy completed this well to 19,208 feet. On a 14/64-inch choke the well potentialed 11.176 million cubic feet of gas. Production is in the Haynesville Shale.

New format of ETDR states:

San Augustine .... XTO Energy...................................... Lobos DU – 1H ............ Carthage (Haynesville Shale) .......... 12898 .......... 2.5 .............. 33528 Mcf .............. 6 Miles NW Augustine

FB, they reported the total flow for the entire test period (72 hours) so divide by three to get MMcfd.

Lobos 1H was re-reported to amend the completion report.  It was completed in January @ 11.176 MMcfd, 14/64 choke, 6300# FCP.

OK, so all reports will be for the 72 hr test period & need to be divided by three?  Also, why is the depth not aligned? And thanks, I knew you'd have a logical answer.
12,898  is  the Vertical depth--then the lateral leg (H) goes out about 6,000 ft to total length of hole 19,208------ about 12,900-13,000 is the vertical depth(bottom of formation) of the shale in this area so this well is a Haynesville rather than the upper or middle to lower  Bossier shale well.
FB, it looks like more than one person may have worked on that report.  For the most part they are reported correctly but once you get down to San Augustine and Nacogdoches they used the cumulative figure instead of the average daily.
Thanks ya'll, for the explanations. Anything looking suspicious on the ETDR will have to be verified through RRC Completions report I guess.

The old Drilling Report format was always to report the 24 hour flow rate.  My guess is that reporting the 72 hour flow rate was a mistake since it was confusing, especially if the report did not explain that it was a 72 hour rate.  The new Drilling Report will likely iron out these types of kinks in the near future.  It would be a shame if the San Augustine and Nacogdoches reports used a different format from the other counties--ie, reporting cumulative figures rather than the average daily figures.  That would seem to be a step backward from easy to read standards.

where are you even finding the new report format?

Doob,

1. GOOGLE "East Texas Drilling Report"

2. Select "Tyler News Business" or something similiar

3. When it opens, the Top Story is generally the ETDR

4. Click on "Full Story" & check date when it opens (sometimes you'll get an earlier version)

I always check it Sunday mornings when it's released for the week.

Sorry to switch counties, but I thought it made sense to ask in the San Augustine forum in light of this discussion.  I am interested in the following well information from the same report.  The well is located in far southern Panola county.

Panola ................ Indigo Minerals LLC ......................... Lazarine GU2–1h .... Carthage (Cotton Valley).................. 9455............ 2.750 .......... 13290 Mcf .......... 11.7 Miles SW Carthage.

Does anyone know if the reference to "13290 Mcf" indicates flow rate for the entire test period also (4.43 Mcf per day)? 

 

yep the 13290 mcf is for 72 hours--3 days or avg 4430 mcf or 4.43 mmcf for one day--- this is a horizontal CV well
Thanks.  That is what I assumed.  Do you know where one would look to see what liquids were produced during the 72-hour period?  I recently leased some minerals pretty close to this well and am trying to get a handle on these horizontal CV wells.

Produced liquids (gas well) would be on a G-5 report, shelbyco.  That report is turned in with the G-1 IP report and would be a part of the completion packet.
