I hope you’ll let me know when you find more of those magic wells that just start producing again. Barring a recompletion, workover, or some form of enhanced recovery like a water flood, when a well is dead, it is dead. Either too little pressure or too much salt water.
I’ve got a well that went from 10bbl/day to 100.
Mind you, the neighboring operator did a huge frac 300 yards off the lease line, but that’s just a a coincidence.
j/k (Not about the well, that’s real. The “coincidence”. We also got a ton of water for two days.)
I know of a few in the Gulf that dried up and were capped.
A few years later they were producing again.
Well not quite what I thought I read, so my comment is wrong overall, but there are occurrences where dry oil wells do replenish.
