J.E. Richey Well #1 – Re-work Program - This well is completed in the Gray formation around 3,900’. Pull the down-hole pump, rods and tubing out of the hole.  Exchange the tubing for tested tubing and shop the down-hole pump.  Go back in the hole with a bale to clean out the sand/mud etc. that has covered the perforations.  Continue to bale until a significant amount of rat hole is created below the perforations.  If the bale cannot clear out the sand/mud then a small drill bit will be added to the tubing and the workover rig will drill out and reverse circulate the hole clean below the perforations.  Once the hole is clean then run the tubing back in the hole and set below the perforations.  Swab the tubing to see how much oil, gas and saltwater comes into the hole and how fast it recovers.  If little to no entry then pull the tubing out of the hole and place a packer on the tubing and seat the packer above the perforations and conduct a light acid job to clean our the perforations.  Then swab to see how the formation responds.  Then run the down-hole pump and rods back in the hole and begin pumping.

 

Projected costs for J.E. Richey #1:

 

Mobilization & Demobilization of service rig - 4/hr @ $175   700

Total Estimated Costs  $36,510 

 

 
 

 

J.E. Richey Well #3 – Rework Program - This well is completed in the Morris formation around 3800’.  This well has been perforated in the Gray but never stimulated.  Pull the down-hole pump, rods and tubing out of the hole.  Exchange the tubing for tested tubing and shop the down-hole pump.  Go back in the hole with the tested tubing with a packer.  Set the packer below the Morris formation to isolate the Gray formation.  Pull a swab to see what comes into the hole naturally from the Gray.  Depending on the amount of entry outline the acid job.  Conduct the acid job and swab to see how much oil, gas and saltwater comes into the hole.  Depending on the amount of entry outline a sand frac if needed.  Swab after the sand frac to see how the Gray responded to the frac.  Come out of the hole remove the packer and run back in the hole, run in the down-hole pump and rods then begin pumping.

 

Projected costs for J.E. Richey #3:

Concho Richey #1 – Re-completion Program - Pull the down-hole pump, rods and tubing out of the hole.  Exchange the tubing for tested tubing and shop the down-hole pump.  Have a wireline truck set a cast iron bridge plug above the Ellenburger this will seal off the Ellenburger.   At approximately 1800 feet is the Tannehill formation where an unsuccessful completion attempt was made.  The perforations in the Tannehill will need to be plugged.   After the cement is cured then the workover rig will go back into the hole with the tested tubing with a drill bit to drill out the rubber plug and cement.  Now the hole is ready for perforating and stimulating the Gray formation.

 

A wireline truck perforates the Gray formation.  The workover rig runs the tested tubing in the hole with a packer and sets the packer above the Gray.  The workover rig swabs the Gray formation to see what comes into the hole naturally.  Depending on the amount of entry will determine the amount of acid to be conducted. Conduct the acid job and swab to see how much oil, gas and saltwater comes into the hole.  Depending on the amount of entry outline a sand frac.  Swab after the sand frac to see how the Gray responded to the frac.  Come out of the hole remove the packer and run the tubing, down-hole pump and rods back in the hole and begin pumping.
