2019.12.18         Our RRC approved rate is 25,000 BPD @ max injection pressure of 6,000psi
We have finished our 20,000 Acid job and down our infectivity test and here are the results.
Pumping Acid at a rate of 26 BPM or 37,440 BPD @ 1,600psi
Displacing Acid at a rate of 30 BPM or 43,200 BPD @ 2,000psi

After allowing Acid to spend for 2 hours our Injection Test was conducted as follows:
5 BPM or 7,200 BPD @ 95 psi
10 BPM or 14,400 BPD @ 248 psi
15 BPM or 21,600 BPD @ 450 psi

See attached Days V Depth V Cost Budget to Actual cost estimates.
They have done an excellent job of planning, cost estimating Budget (AFE) and are ahead of plan.

2019.12.11         Running 5.5″ Casing @ 400′. Lay down drill pipe and BHA. Rig up Eline truck. RIH with Gauge ring, gamma ray/perforator, and CCL. Log from 12,500′ to 10,900′.

Currently we are RIH with our 5.5” Injection Tubing @ 7,133’ looking to be tagging and space out on Packer around 15:00hrs today and looking to Rig Release tomorrow afternoon.

2019.12.10         TOOH L/D drill pipe. Offload, strap, caliper 5-drill collars, eccentric reamer, 6.75″ milltooth bit. PU BHA and TIH.

Currently POOH to Lay down DP and RU cased hole logging company. Stephen Smith (driller) has been working with the RRC & UIC to modify the injection zone from 12,310’ to 14,000’ to 12,066’ to 13,180’ for 14 straight days to get them to make this change internally.  He hopes we get that approval today so we can set our packer around 12,000’ not 12,300’.

They worked that tight spot out and had no problems with TOOH afterwards.  We do have permission from the RRC to not go run the additional 280’ of OH logs so that will save us some good money as well.  The new drilling contract was signed with another operator yesterday and we will see some more savings on our De-mob cost as well. The current projection for rig release is 3-4 days.  Then we will come back and complete. 

2019.12.09         WAITING ON DC’s.  Strap out of hole, Pull rot. head & install trip nipple, L/D NMDC’s, 3 Stab’s; Break Bit, Clean off rig floor,. PJSM with wireline crew, rig up lubricator & wireline sheaves, run open hole logs, Rig down logging, Rig up & rig down wireline truck to run packer, Waiting on 3rd party tools (DC’s)
As normal Oilfield Operations, nothing happens during daylight or normal business hours.  The drilling company made two attempts to get our OH logs into our 6-3/4”  OH section.  Our first log was a total length of 112’ and weight 831#, they cut down our first run to 85.5’ and 624#.  We did get about 300’ of new OH log that is currently being processed.  See pictures of trucks and tools. The driller had problems getting in around our tight hole from 12,840-12,867’ during our drilling and first short trip.  We wiped out this area on our last TOOH prior to RU to run loggers and when we came off bottom, we had absolutely no problems. Stephen Smith is working with his contacts in Austin with the RRC & UIS to see if we can get away with this last 280’ OH because it is all Ellenberger.  He has Chris Weyand of Lonquist & Associates meeting up with the UIS/RRC today after discussion last Friday to modify the “Original” W14 permit to change our Injection interval 12,300’ to 14,000’ up to our new injection interval 12,066.5’ to 13,280’. 

We are going to RIH with bit, hole opener & DC’s with our 4.5” DP to wipe out this spot and run back to bottom to make sure we can get logs down if they are in fact going to demand us run.  Again, Stephen Smith is working with them directly to allow us not to have to run this last 280’

Sorry for this delay but sometimes Mother Nature takes control of operations.  The Great thing is we look to have a very good SWD well we lost a total of 5,000 bbls during our last wiper trip.  This is prior to any Acid Job or cleaning up so they are very confident it is going to do well.

2019.12.08         TOOH @ 5,000′.  Fill mud pits with fresh water, Rot. drill F/12,879′ T/13,180′, Circ. & clean hole, Wiper trip F/13,180′ T/12,550′, TIH F/12,550′ T/13,180′, Pull 4 stds wash & ream tight spot @ 12,840′,  TIH F/12,840′ T/13,180′, Circ Btms up, TOOH F/13,180′ T/12,545′, Monitor Well, TIH F/12,545′ T/13,180′, TOOH F/13,180′ T/5000′

Currently TOOH @ 3,100’ and expecting Weatherford here to start RU around 11:00 hrs today.  See the pictures of our 5.5” IPC tubing. 

Note: The black stuff on the green is grease that has not been cleaned off yet.  It is not chipping or damage to pipe.

2019.12.07         We just TD the well @ 13,180’ (see attached mudlogs).  We have seen multiple fractures and good permeability that should provide a great SWD well.  We had returns on and off for this entire section and looks great.

2019.12.07         Racked back one stand, filling pits with FW.  Rot. drill F/12,865′ T/12,867′, flowback 50 bbls until static. Trip out hole, monitor well. Lay down MWD, UBHO, and rig down MWD equipment, c/o bit, TIH. Rot Drill F/12867′ T/12879′, racked 1 STD back.

We had total mud losses yesterday @12,864’ which is a very good thing for SWD wells but it tore up our bit due to formation change.  We had to replace bit and back on bottom we are still seeing fluid losses since we got back to bottom. Again, this is great for our SWD well!  We are currently drilling ahead with returns coming and going, we are seeing effects from our offsetting 6 SWD wells that are all within a 4 mile radius.  We will TD this well @ 13,180’ based on our projected T/Cambrian @ 13,280’. We have to stay 100’ above this zone due to RRC requirements.  We are currently drilling ahead 12,922’ @ rates of 30-36’/hr & expecting to TD around 15:00 to 17:00hrs today at our current ROP.
