First let me start by telling you that when we do an acid cleanup treatment after perforating the casing it is with the purpose of cleaning any jagged steel edges around the perforations and breaking down any cement that may clog the perforations. We then swab the hole dry and then shut it in overnight to see if any gas/oil will flow into the wellbore naturally from the formations pressure. Any show of oil/gas would tell us if there is one or both present and it now warrants a Sand Frack to bust the formation open which will let the oil/gas flow freely to the wellbore.
Today, D&M arrived to check on the amount of gas buildup & fluid entry on the Llama 13-2 well. When we first opened the valve to release the gas pressure we didn’t get a small blow of gas but a very strong gas blow. D&M then ran in the hole with their swabbing tool, pulled a swab from just below the perforations at 3100′. When the swabbing tool got close to the top it had approximatey 250′ of total fluid
ahead of it. The top 75′-80′ was all oil. I would say this is much more than a “show” of oil/gas.
Needless to say it was all we wanted to know to confirm the need for a Sand Frack which we have moved up to mid-afternoon tomorrow.
After swabbing down the 13-2 well this morning, D&M rigged down and moved to the 13-1 location to strip everything out of the wellbore in preparation for the 4000 Gal Acid Frac that SPS will do the first thing in the morning on the Viola formation.
More tomorrow….stay tuned.
