This is the second of what should be very good operational updates from Gulfport's SCOOP drilling program. Gulfport is on-track to report ~50% year-over-year production growth in 2017. Q4 2016 production of 131,166 Boepd is expected to be approximately 218,000 Boepd in Q4 2017. Their exit rate at the end of 2017 should be approximately 225,000 Boepd. My valuation of GPOR is $34.00. - Dan

The Pauline 8-27X22H was completed with our latest generation completion design, is exhibiting a strong liquids cut and is performing very well relative to offsets and its type curve. We are extremely pleased with these well results and look forward to accumulating additional production history. In addition, we are in various stages of flowback operations on an incremental five Woodford wells and plan to continue to provide peak flow rates as they become available over the coming weeks."

The Pauline 8-27X22H has a lateral length of 7,658 feet and a 24-hour initial peak production rate of 11.6 MMcf per day and 828 barrels of oil per day. Based upon the composition analysis, the gas being produced is 1,210 BTU gas and yielding 58.8 barrels of NGLs per MMcf of natural gas and results in a natural gas shrink of 19%.

Can you interpret the new well results? Are they considered good, bad, average, can't tell yet or whatever?

[dan_s]

They are very good wells, with high btu gas and lots of liquids. At half the IP rates these wells pay out in less than a year.

Back of the envelop math is: Daily Production X 30 days X 70% X commodity prices = rough estimate of revenues to the working interest owners. These high pressure wells are "flowing" so the lease operating expenses are quite low once you get them tied into a gathering system.

The 70% is to reduce for royalties and production taxes.
