Bruin/Cimarex Rogersville Shale well in Lawrence County, KY a big dog---woof, woof!

Locals told me they saw the flare for miles.  Said it was flowing 10,000 bbl/day, but had to be shut in or  control would be lost.  15,000 pounds of flowing tubing pressure.

I guess them folks are full of what makes the grass grow green in Texas.

Hope that will do you!

Right back at you!

  I think it looks promising ,conisdering that it is a vertical. Has anyone projected it out if it had an latteral of lets say 6000' .and considering that the frist Utica wells was dry. Could be wrong but thats what I think

  it seams to me that would be some big numbers if it was a horizontal well, and I heard that they are going back in and go horizontal.  If someone that REALLY  knows alot more about it then I do, just let me know if I'm wrong , I CAN TAKE IT .

Roadbuilder,

      Unless things have changed from the last well I saw drilled, one rig drills vertical then the next rig drills horizontal. If you take a look at the KY Well Permit for the well it will tell you what is planned.

Huge production numbers sound good but it turns out that a controlled flow is better than letting a well run at full throttle due to potential for well damage in the form of shorter time for well production to drop down to 10% flow.

There are curves that show production drop off rates based on experience in the Utica and Marcellus Shale plays. You'll see the lower flow rates extend the time to minimum flow of 10%.

When I hear of the huge flow rates in Belmont County Ohio, I have to wonder what the producer is trying to accomplish, large flow rates or higher volumes of production over time.

Maybe the Well Drillers on this website can fill you in on what they do each day and Flow Rate & Volume vs time.

Seems to me that the public traded companies like to do the press releases with the big numbers to pump the stock price. 

EQT came out with their PA Utica well numbers that said 72 MMcf/d! Thats a huge number, and when you read down the well is doing a steady 22 MMcf/d now which is still a great well. As Ron mentioned the key to the game is keeping your decline curve as straight as possible.

  Ron ,do you think they may have not had the well at full throttle for the flow test. What you said about the well damage makes sence, have you looked at the numbers for the well ?

Roadbuilder,

      I'm not familiar with the procedure or purpose of the flow test, but I would think most producers know not to push a newly fracked well to hard, which this isn't since it is entering the horizontal drilling stage.

The Drillers, Engineers and people who have interests in real production will be the ones to answer your question.

I only see numbers Chesapeake puts on my royalty statement and what they report to the ODNR quarterly using the Honor System. HAH!
