I’ve only been on one flowback but it was pretty cool. I call a “flowback” the end of the fracturing process when the pressure of the formation force the fracturing fluid back to the surface/wellhead. It is important since you are beginning to see whether you are getting any oil and gas from the frac. Kind of like turning on the coiled water hose-lots of spitting, pressure surges etc. For gas, u might get a flare. Looking and sniffing you might see some oil. The flowback I saw sounded like a man hitting a metal drum hard. All the fluid goes to a frac tank-saltwater is taken away via vacuum truck.

An overiding royalty usually occurs when a working interest owner sells his WI in a well and retains a royalty (which is called an overiding royalty interest). Both a royalty and ORRI are free and clear of well operating expenses. Of course you have to pay your share (your interest) of severance taxes, ad valorem taxes, and marketing charges. The overide or royalty is generally based on what production is sold from the well.

2. flowback is paid to damn much for too damn much of nothing.

Quicksilver – if I had a copy of my expense report I could tell you all about those fellas. I believe we fraced a quicksilver lease up around st. jo. Not all that long ago. A double bank with more horsepower than anyone in the right mind would pay for, but I can’t remember. I do believe that it’s quicksilver that likes those double banks. I do also believe it’s quicksilver who fouls up their paper work and has us frac the wrong damn wellhead every now and then, which is a perfectly acceptable foul up when your making money hand over fist. LOL.
