Barber County, Kansas
Gentlemen:
Enclosed is the production analysis and performance for the
Lies No. 1 as shown in the above-caption.
The Mississippi formation was fractured during the month with
resulting increase in oil production to around 25 barrels of oil per
day. Water production also increased which has resulted in having to
dispose of water into a local injection well operated by the Rice
Engineering Company, Great Bend, Kansas. Oil production for the month
increased approximately 45 barrels per day as a result of the fracture.
If there are any questions regarding this operations summary,
we will be happy to confer with you.

Re: Lies No. 1 Well
NE SE Section 14-328-10W
Barber County, Kansas
Gentlemen:
As mentioned in Mr. Arnold Brown's letter of October 4, 1965, the
above-well is making approximately 35 barrels of oil and approximately 35
barrels of water per day. Arrangements have been made, on a temporary basis,
to dispose water into a disposal system approximately one mile east of the Lies
well. Arrangements with the Rice Engineering Operating Company, Great Bend,
Kansas, to dispose of our water from the Lies well into their Sharon Disposal
System has been agreed upon. The disposal of water into this system will cost
a minimum of $50.00 per month, or a charge of $0.02 per barrel of water disposed
into the system each month.
Rice Engineering has informed this company that this disposal system
is a jointly owned system by several operators in the immediate area. The
participation factor is based upon the number of wells in, or being serviced by,
this disposal well. Rice Engineering will also furnish the necessary information
concerning the possibility of KWB as operator of the Lies No. 1 becoming a member
of this disposal system.
This letter is furnished to all interest owners as informational and
to keep all concerned abreast of the activities concerning this well.

Re: Monthly Operating Reports
Lies No. 1 Well
NE SE Section 14-328-10W
Barber County, Kansas
Gentlemen:
We are enclosing the production analysis from the Lies No. 1 well
located as shown in the above-caption.
These reports indicate that the oil production from this well has
declined rapidily since initial completion. On September 15, 1965, this well
was fractured with 750 pounds polymer coated sand and approximately 450 pounds
of regular sand accompanied with approximately 100 barrels crude oil. Initial
production after fracture was discouraging in that these tests revealed approx-
imately 1 barrel of oil and 99 barrels of water in 24 hours. However, after
pumping the well three days, recovering all the load oil, the well produced 42
barrels of oil with approximately 35 barrels of water per day. It is too early,
at this time, to state the actual results of this stimulation treatment. It is
hoped, however, that the well will be capable of producing between 30 and 40
barrels of oil per day.
Since the water production on this well has increased considerably,
it will be necessary to provide a source for disposal. As soon as this has
been arranged, we will supply this information to you. If there are any
questions concerning this report, we will be happy to confer with you.
Yours very truly,

Dear Mr. Nixon:
The oil well in Barber County in which you own an interest is performing
better after the fracture treatment than we had anticipated. All of the
oil introduced into the well during the treatment has been recovered.
The production rate during the last 24 hours, while the load oil was
being recovered, amounted to 60 barrels of oil per day accompanied by
90 barrels of water.
At this time the pump was not functioning and a new pump is being installed
today. It appears that the oil production has been stimulated and we will
know the rate of production of new oil early next week.
I advised Mr. Lund of this today and he requested me to contact you im-
mediately to inform you of these results. We were unable to contact you
at your office or home late this afternoon and since I am leaving town the
information is being transmitted by letter.
We hope that the treatment will result in a paying oil well. I told Mr. Lund
that the increases obtained from fracture treatment are sometimes short lived
and in other instances the beneficial results are maintained for a long time.
It will be necessary to observe the performance of the well before these
effects can be evaluated.
Very truly yours,

Re: Workover Lies No. 1
NE SE Section 14-32S-10W
Barber County, Kansas
Gentlemen:
We are enclosing our AFE No. S-K-1 providing for the fracture
treatment of the Mississippi formation in the Lies No. 1 well.
Thi well is currently producing approximately 7 barrels of oil
and 20 barrels of water per day. The revenue from this quantity of oil
is just barely sufficient to pay the operating costs. As stated in my
letter of August 4, 1965, we recommend that a stimulation treatment be
attempted on the Mississippi perforations before abandonment. A good
possibility exsists that a fracture treatment of the Mississippi zone
in this well will increase the water production considerably. However,
it is hoped that a fracture treatment will increase the oil production
without increasing the water production so that a more profitable
operation will result.
We believe this treatment is necessary in view of the expiration
time on a certain number of the leases in the area. After the results of
this treatment can be analyzed, a future program for development can be
determined.
If this proposal meets with your approval, please execute in
the space at the bottom of the AFE form, keeping one copy for your files
and returning one copy to us. If there are any questions regarding our
recommendations or procedure we will be happy to confer with you.
Yours very truly,
KWB OIL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, INC.

Re: Lies No. 1 Well
NE SW Section 14-34S-10W
Barber County, Kansas
Gentlemen:
The rapid decline of the oil production from the Lies No. 1 well since
completion is going to require some action by the working interest owners in the
very near future. Therefore, we are writing this letter to bring all of you up
to date on the present producing capability of this well.
During the month of July this well declined from around 20 barrels of
oil and 6 barrels of water per day to 7 barrels of oil and 20 barrels of water
per day. A recent fluid level test indicated that there was only approximately
115 feet of fluid above the pump in the hole. From this performance it is
apparent that the producing Mississippi reservoir is limited and the oil-water
contact is fairly close to the producing interval in the well. In an effort to
determine a feasible course of action, we have consulted with the Dowell Company
in an effort to determine the possibilities of stimulating this well. We are
attaching a letter from this company's engineers whereby they have suggested two
types of stimulation treatment. The cost for performing either of these treat-
ments, including pulling and running the tubing, packer rental and miscellaneous
labor, is estimated to approximate $1,200.00. If the treatment resulted in an
increase of 5 barrels of oil per day, payout time would require approximately
five months. Our calculations have provided for the expected operating cost
increase due to water hauling charges created by a water production increase.
In view of the progressive water increase shown by this well since
completion, we believe any type of formation stimulation treatment will result
in an increase of water production. It is a gamble situation whether this work
would increase the oil production sufficiently to payout the workover expense
and the increased operating cost. At this time we are hesitant to recommend
Messrs. Lund and Nixon and
Sierra Petroleum Co., Inc.
- 2 -
August 4, 1965
additional work on this well. However, before the well is abandoned, a stimulation
treatment should be performed on the present producing interval.
If there are any questions regarding this letter, please advise. We will
be happy to confer with you.
Yours very truly,
KWB OIL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, INC.

Mr. Brown,
Our Jessie Clifton called regarding your Leis #1 - 14-32-10 -
Barber county, Kansas. 500 Mud Acid through perforations
4385-89 in May 1965. Made about 105 bopd. Present production
15 bwpd and 13 bopd. An electric log showed 44% water satur-
ation at 4387-90.
It is desired to stimulate this well. In view of the high
water cut, we believe a small treatment is appropriate using
a diverting technique of sand placement. Two types of treatment
are submitted for your evaluation. In both cases, injection
rate is low in an attempt to arrest downward propagation of the
fracture and make it develop outward and upward.
Suggested treatment:
4000 gals lease crude containing 1/20# Adomite Mark II/gal.
Spearhead with 500 gals lease crude.
750# S041 - (Polymer coated sand)
1850# - R20-40 sand
Injection rate 3 bpm using Twin Diesel pumper. Maintain
3 bpm through first half of treatment. Increase to 4 bpm
for second half.
The well should be equipped with tubing and packer and
tailpipe, as it could screen out at this low. rate. Packer
and tubing will facilitate cleaning out. The purpose of
the low rate is to allow sand to drop to the bottom of
the fracture being created and sand it off. The Polymer
sand swells in contact with water and will tend to shut
off the fracture in the water zone.
Alternate treatment:
3500 gals 3% Frac Acid 20
Spearhead with 500 gals Frac Acid 20.
2500# R20-40 sand
Displacement rate 3 bpm through first half of treatment
and increase to 4-5 bpm for second half using Twin Diesel
pumper.
The well should be equipped with tubing, packer and tail-
pipe for reasons explained above.

and look forward to working with you on this well.
