TD,

Where did you find that IP? Its not on their site. There is no new post since the 22nd of March. The well originally came in at that rate but fell rapidly (in 24 hours) to less than 200 bbls. per day. It was not what they expected. The last I heard it is shut-in with mud in the hole and formation.

While that was the IP on that date, at that time, it did not maintain that rate of flow for any appreciable time. They were not even able to clear the mud and drilling fluids from the well and formation before they shut it in to assess the next step to try to increase production. The well was still "slugging" at that time. That I feel was a very bad mistake. First, they should have done a high volume (1,000 bbl +) acidization immediately to try to dissolve some of the formation and any mud that had infiltrated it. If the mud and debris is left in the hole and formation it will set-up under the temperatures and pressures that are present in the Chalk. Secondly, they should have done a gravel/sand pack to hold the formation open and allow the oil to migrate to the well bore. That's my opinion.

Hey Tom, I hadn't heard any news on that well in weeks,, thought they shut it in... Hoping Pryme can make a play in the chalk... Shawn

Hey Guys,

It does not look good. There is a post on the ASX site from the Annual Shareholder's Meeting which is today here but yesterday their time. It updates the information about the companies current situation and activities. They did not post it to the Pryme site. That link is:

They just can't complete a well correctly in the AC it seems. Are they using the Anadarko play book?

Looks like they are going to try to focus on shallow oil in the future.  Hopefully, they can get somebody who knows what they are doing to help them in Turner Bayou.

So much for the AC for now. I would like to see a TMS well in the deeper zones. Nobody has hit that area yet with a horizontal and frac.

This is my first post.  Just thought I'd share my thoughts on the "deja vu"experience I had after reading the rosedown posts by Pryme.  My inlaws are in the austin chalk and we were supposed to get the "Smith" well now put on hold.  In 1996 Sonat drilled a well on brassette lane with much anticipation.  The rosedown is almost a blow by blow repeat of what happened on that well.  The drilling mud was used also and caused the clogging of the well and later attempts with water injection did not open up the formation.  At least we've been getting a check since then and hoping the new technologies would make new wells more successful.  It's also suprising that Anadarko being the size company they are would more capable of handling what is a challenge but with a large upside.  From what I understand they are seeking partners or trying to sell the leases.  even more puzzling to me is how they are proceeding with the vernon parish which according to one person with Anadarko and not pursuing what he called "the sweet spot" of the formation where we are..  Go figure  Thanks to everyone for finally helping me get some info on rosedown since it seems they have been "tight lipped" about the current or lack thereof progress.

Devon put in the Murphy 63H1 well in W. Fel Parish near the La./Ms. line back on 4/1/12  where the TMS is deeper, but as you can, they were very timid in their frack job.

Murphy 63H1 -  TVD 13,800 ft. - lateral 5170 ft. - 19 stages -  275.8 K lbs. of proppant  per stage - 30 day IP  503 boepd.

Then they ran off to Texas to chase another play.

Steve,

I'm posting this in both LeCour and this thread.

I tried to advise Pryme's people, in an email, that they should do a massive acidzation and then a gravel/sand pack or a slick water treatment before completion. They did not want to hear that. According to the person I emailed with; they had a plan that did not require any stimulation or any formation stabilization or enhancement. I tried..............

They apparently should have given your recommendation more consideration. :)
