Just takes time and $$$$$$$$$.

Patience too but hard to sit high in the cheap seats where we are as "posters" and watch what is happening

Patience is a virtue in short supply among those waiting on a well.

What happened with Blackbrush well?  Why shutin as dry and future use?

With that sort of filing, it points to the frac being a failure and them not getting any significant O&G recovery during flowback. 

What is puzzling is how quickly after frac'ing the well that they filed this status. One would think that it would take a lot longer flowback period before throwing in the towel.

Unless they had some sort of major failure during frac (like collapse or ruptured casing)?

But then we get reports that tankers are going off and on location - but this could just be taking off fluids (Oil and Water) from the on site storage tanks as they wind down.

A lot more info is needed here.

Although a disappointment, this should not be a surprise.  This re-entry attempt has been plagued with problems throughout.  The work permits tell much of the story.

<FRAC WELL BOTTOM PERF: 15930', TOP PERF 14720' 9 STAGES 427,500 LBS/STAGE FRAC DATE: 4/16/2018>>>

They fracked the vertical well bore above but did not frack the horizontal?  I'm missing something here.

That is the lateral. Measured depth perforations noted

Yes, I stand corrected on that. Sloppy reading on my part. 

Now would be a good time to know if those tankers were for oil or saltwater and the percentage of each going and coming. 

Significant oil production would help explain the installation of the guard shack as an attempt to keep a tight hole. 

The way I see it, this well was reentered primarily to gain further information on the AC. 

The story would be told with an analysis of the tanker types ratio leaving the location loaded. 

That's why they put up the guard shack. To keep out nosey guys like me while they tighten up their leaseholds. .

I'm calling "good well" and throwing in with Rockman at this point-there's oil in that there matrix.

From what I read yesterday and posted the link to, there's more oil in the matrix than they ever get out of the fractures.

Flow back equipment still on site and salt water trucks are hauling off. Patience

Good info - the status filed for well is puzzling (and maybe part of stealth / tite hole effort?)

Hydro is referring to well status code 31 which is SHUT-IN DRY HOLE - FUTURE UTILITY.  The industry has changed the traditional use of this code in the age of horizontal wells.  The DRY HOLE part may or may not be accurate.  A Status 31 designation is often used to place a well in a kind of regulatory limbo that requires no further reporting.  The short lateral may render the well non-economic but it is obvious from our member reports that it is neither shut in nor a dry hole.  Or at least has not been so very recently.
