    Here's a look at the other two Austin Chalk wells operated by Elmwood.  Both were originally drilled as TMS wells.

      Interesting move by Elmwood on these two old TMS wells. Plugging back and frac'ing the AC in vertical hole.

      • IP results not bad on the one (293 BO, 1961 MCF and 520 BW per day).
      • Other well had frac screen out early and only IP'd 140 BO & 948 BW per day (no gas reported / but there has to be some).

      Will be interesting to see how production goes moving ahead - early water rates may be frac fluid, but AC is also known for high water.

      Very high operating pressures here - adds to the complexity.

      Recompletions like this may end up being economic - but highly doubt that this will lead to new drilling targeting AC (laterals, fracs. etc).
