here are some numbers from 5 of the earliest Utica wells that came on line in 2011.......these are all CHK and all in Carroll county except the Buell in Harrison county..........the cash numbers are not accurate but probably not too far off.........interesting numbers.......sharp decline.

Steep declines indeed!
Nice tables. Thank you.
The oil (condensate) production falls off much more quickly than the gas in these shale wells. Range Resources shows that same behavior in their decline curves.

Permalink Reply by Booger on July 14, 2014 at 4:46am I modified the Harvey numbers above in red..........I missed the Q3 numbers...........which are kindof interesting because daily production bumped up.
Permalink Reply by Bluflame on July 12, 2014 at 2:33am Booger,
Sorry, connection problem.
These are all older CHK wells. Production methodology has theoretically improved to the point GPOR is predicting no production decline for the first two years. Time will tell if this proves to be the case. Utica drillers are choking back new wells sharply to maintain reservoir pressure. They claim this will reduce declines, improved EUR's and well ROI's. Again, the jury is still out pending extended results.
On a related note, the horizontal wells still only recover <10% of available reservoir hydrocarbons. Not certain how reservoir engineers determine that number. Anyway, there has been talk of re-fracking wells after several years of production, It's asserted that that re-fracking could cause production to meet or exceed initial results. Apparently, there is a challenge re-fracking the long, multi-stage laterals. But likely someone will figure it out if the results are as asserted.

all very good points.........and yes those are all older wells........the first actually.......they have the most decline data..
i will post some more wells on this thread as i run the numbers.
as far as GPOR's prediction - have to see it to believe it.
also - Halliburton is advertising their re-fracking services already in texas with data to justify the cost..
Permalink Reply by Bluflame on July 14, 2014 at 2:58am Booger,
I'm also "from Missouri" on the GPOR type curves. Good news about Halliburton on re-fracking. We're still a few years away from that need, but it's nice to know someone has figured it ou!

Permalink Reply by Booger on July 14, 2014 at 11:36am these are the next 6 that came on line..........and represent other counties and operators...
Frec wells are Anadarko in Guernsey and Noble counties....NacGas well is Hess in Jefferson and the SanorFarms is CHK in Columbia county.
some interesting upticks in places.....but still significant declines overall with the exception of the Hess well which shows ZERO decline up until the most recent QTR.

Permalink Reply by Dexter Green on July 15, 2014 at 4:29am Notice that the worst decline was Shugart 1H, which showed about an 85% drop in gas volume in 282 days. It also has the least oil production (of those that are producing oil, that is). There is some kind of connection between low volume oil production and rapid gas decline. The NAC Gas Unit was steady and is firmly in the dry gas window with no oil whatsoever. I think you'll see the most consistent EURs and the lowest declines in that dry part of the play, but the most immediate profit will still be that wetter area that GPOR is developing.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
