The well is generally considered the Brown Dense discovery well and was drilled in 2009 if memory serves.  It was finally completed and turned to sales in December.  We have discussed it several time in the past.  If the gas production was greater it would probably produce an impressive amount of NGLs.

Production for the WB Exxon Mobil #2 actually ticked up a bit in Feb 2013 compared to Jan, according to SONRIS. February production was 9078 bbls oil (condensate), or 324 BOPD; and 11846 MCF, or 423 MCFD. Wish we knew the choke settings.

forgive my ignorance, but is it not "CK 10/64?"

Appears to me that state test was run on 10/64ths choke. That doesn't mean it is being produced on same choke. Choke settings are tweaked all the time.

That was certainly my impression, Aubrey. Thanks for confirming it.

This is an incredible well given:

1. Its in a tight oil formation, the LSBD

2. Open hole completion

3. production did not decline in the first three months, this defies rational expectations

I dont understand why there arent  12 permits offsetting this well yet for that depth. The economics are too obvious from this weel.

Because whoever has the adjacent minerals doesn't need to book reserves for this year, i would imagine.

I think the answer is two-fold.  First, even though W-B has a very economic vertical well they don't have the rocks figured out yet, and second, what kind of shape is that lease block in? They drilled the EOM #1 in late 2006, most likely as a conventional U. Smk prospect which was unproductive, drilled ahead and encountered shows in the LSBD.  Ran 4 1/2" pipe, but apparently tested non-commercial.  That well is still TA.  Three years later they drilled the #2 EOM 2 miles SE.  In 2011 W-B drilled the #1 English as a 2 mi. offset NE and it was a dry hole.

EOM owns most of the minerals.  How much did W-B earn with the #2 well?  Many years ago we had the idea of putting together a prospect in that area for a sub-salt prospect.  Dealing with Exxon was difficult, and IIRC it involved a farmout rather than a lease and you only would earn so much with each successful completion.  W-B may not have anywhere else to go on this prospect at this stage, and EOM is patiently evaluating all the data for themselves.

April oil production is down slightly to 9361 barrels, or 312 barrels per day, compared with 320 barrels per day for March. This is a decrease of only 2.5%. Gas production on a daily basis is down about 7.3% from March to April.

Those numbers are impressive!

I think this is condensate, right?
