Ann: Operations Update , page-3

Have a look at the official production figures lodged with the department of oil and gas in Utah. No Well has produced at more than 0.5 mmcf/day for any month ever since Marion was involved.

Water Drive....
Look up this term it is hugely important!
The wells at Clear Creek are water driven.
The original wells produced at ridiculously high rates.
One of the first wells tested at over 100mmcf/day.
Spectacular! but once the water level rises, it has pushed out much of the gas and the field is essentially depleted.

Further production can be obtained by pumping down the water level but the pressure is never the same.
The pressure was created by the water pressure!
The cost of removing the water in many cases is prohibitive in water drive systems.

It is really an engineering study to find out whether the gas field is feasible or not.

The Ridge Runner Wells are right at the top of the ridge at 10500ft above sea level... And Guess what they are full of water. So the cheap gas, driven by water drive is gone...

Marion has pumped water for years now and has never been able to get decent production from any of their wells.

Will they ever be able to pump enough water out of their wells?
Sad thing is they inject the waste water back into the exact same ferron sandstone at ASD3-16
This is to avoid water contamination issues...

The last 6 years have demonstrated one thing...

They were not able to pump enough water out to make the wells viable.
