I inherited a Cleveland vertical well, from my father, which he bought 30 years ago as a
stripper, then. But, being a petro. eng., as well as a farmer he liked to
produce it. 480 acres came with the pump and tanks.
He died happily there, and i "took over," not knowing a whole lot,
except a course at OU, and lifetime of brief interaction, while he mapped.
So, i leased my 480 acres to his protege, and they drilled a horizontal
in the Cleveland on the other side of the section, going N-S.
After 4000 feet of lateral, fracked w 28 tanks of (?). Since
then little frac water, and sand have come out; only enough
to require blowing compressed air and soap three times. (Their
procedure was to hook onto a near by gas line, but it only had
30.#
So, boo hoo to that, but now my little stripper well won't produce,
even tho i checked tubing and replaced pump. Now, i've heard that
my neighbors well west across the road has the same problems.
Could someone explain my situation, or do i just sit and wait for
a tank of oil to be produced?
Thanks,
M.S.
