Not bad.  18/64 choke as compared to a 28/64 (Blackstone A-43) and a 27/64 choke (Blackstone A-398).  Why such a difference?  Am I reading this right?

Where is everybody?  Thought there would be a lot of comments about this well....

Is 18/64 better or worse than 28/64?

I thought there would be more reaction to this, also. As far as the numbers go, I thought you take the choke number (2.625) and divide it into 64 to get the choke size. If so, I get about 24/64. I need someone to confirm.

 

If it is 24/64, then the 10+ MMcf/day initial flow is not nearly as impressive as I was expecting. If it is 18/64 like you say, then the 10+ looks better, but still not great. (Janna, the smaller the choke, the lower you expect the inital flow number to be).

The completion report states 18/64 choke.

Yeah I was a little disappointed.  I was hoping for a 15+ mcf well even on a 18/64 choke.

JWC, this is a really decent bossier well!  It was reported on a fairly small choke and had an 8576# flowing pressure.  The shut-in pressure was 9499 psi.  The well is good... I've just been too busy to say anything. I think it could have easily flowed 15+ if they had opened it up some more.

I have been waiting to hear from you jffree1.  I was wondering what it might have flowed with say a 28/64 choke.  Thanks for your post.  I feel better.

They turned in a conservative test, JWC.  I don't see many, any more, testing on a choke that big (28/64) unless the pressures would be just enormous (like over 10K psi) on a smaller choke.  Remember, if the choke is opened up more the flowing pressure will be lower.

we agree jffree1! With so many things that could go wrong when drilling a well, we are VERY pleased with these results! But, have to admit: Am just a TINY bit bummed that it didn't turn out to be a 30+ monster, tho.....jus sayin! :)

ALongview, just curious, where did you find this file? I searched (in ignorance) on the TRRC site, but can't find files like this.

Steve,  Under the Online Research Queries tab on the left of the main page there is a tab for oil and gas completion query.  Click on that and it takes you to a new page where you click completions query.  Choose as many inputs as you want for your search.  I usually pick the dates and district 6 and that about gives me everything I am looking for.  Once you have the basic well completion list for you query you can click on them individually.  The form posted above is the G-1.  Hope that helps.
