Yesterday, we were able to turn on both the Llama 13-1 & 13-2 wells briefly. As it would be the Llama 13-1 transformer was discovered to be leaking some type of oil. We were checking the meter just after we had the pumpjack going when drip drip down it came. Not knowing what it was we immediately shut the well down and contacted East Central Electric. As it turned out East C Elec came out this morning and checked it. They said it appeared some oil of some type had been spilled on top of the transformer when they were installing it. A quick wipe down, turned the well back on, all is well
The Llama 13-2 was turned on and appeared to be running well. After a few minutes of running it was detected that the Separator was not working properly. Shut the well down. This morning we opened the Separator up to find that the plunger had been damaged, probably during transit or loading and unloading. Install new plunger, turn the well on, all is well.
This is just normal stuff that happens during start ups. We will be making adjustments for a couple of days on each pumpjack until we get the optimal balance.
With the Acid job we put into the Llama 13-1 (4000 Gals) we flushed it with 760+ BBLS of SW which will be the first product out of the hole. It will take 3-4 days of pumping to get the flush back before we have any idea what production we will be getting from the Viola Formation..
With the Llama 13-2 we did a 3000 Gal Acid job and flushed it with just over 600 BBLS of SW. Again this will be the first product back out of the hole before we will be able to see what the Viola Formation will give up, possibly 2-3 days.
Also yesterday and today we were able to finish up the Tank Battery on each well. Looking good. We still have some adjusting, clean up, and dressing up to do on and around each pumpjack which we will complete the first of the week.
It will be an interesting weekend in anticipation of what we will Have next week, I will keep you posted.
