And just while i'm around trying my hardest to avoid sharpening my pitchfork. Not sure when I last posted these so heres an update to my oil and gas production graphs

First two are actual volumes as reported to the tax department. All graphs start at Month 1. Sundance Kid has been included as a comparison (at the time it was a top performer and looks to still be)


Tax records have been patchy, and the shut-ins from various other wells can be clearly seen with production hitting 0 for both oil and gas for certain months.
My last records are Jewel Oil 30/9 Gas 31/7, Rangers Oil 30/4!, Gas 30/9, Flames Oil 31/8 (shut-in 31/1-31/7), Gas 30/9 (shut-in 31/3/23?), WP Oil 30/4, Gas 30/9... And to stop conspiracy theories SDK Oil 30/4, Gas 31/7 (Shutin 31/12-28/2?).
No idea why there is such a large period missing for oil (i was expecting a big catchup for Flames oil as i appear to be missing data for 6 month vs 1 month for gas). I haven't cross correlated the numbers with the latest quarterlies for the missing periods, but have compared earlier datasets with quarterlies and the production numbers are consistent.


The other 2 graphs i pull out are how compare the declines for each well


For these two graphs, I work out daily production numbers based on days in the reporting month. The graphs start at the highest average daily production, for oil this is normally 2-3 months into production, gas another 1-2 months after that. Then each is percentage from that
eg: Jewell hit peak oil in October 2021 with 26971.21BO, with 31 days that gives 870 BOPD. November 2021 was 22,411.91BO / 30 days = 747 BOPD this gives 747 / 870 = 85.9% of peak production

I find this is a bit easier to see whats happening with each well production over time, Jewell appears to have settled at around 10% of peak production (and is currently producing around 80 BOPD (at 30/09) yet still producing 1381 MCF of gas (but thats at 31/7 remember).

Again you can see the steep drop-offs of production for shutin periods, but also interestingly how similar the decline curves on the oil is. I have no idea whats caused Rangers gas production to rebound to levels at that were last achieved in the 2 month after peak production (30/06/22 1587 MCFPD (PP), 31/8/22 1362 MCFPD, 30/07/23 1413 MCFPD, 30/09/23 1376 MCFPD)

Nothing much to report on Juanita yet at the tax department. One month production for August totalling 1917 BO for the month
