Q1 2026 closed with 33 wells under active chemical program — 15 flagged as loading candidates by the threshold rules, 0 trending amber, and the balance producing within tolerance. Total program spend was $33,118 across 6,415 gallons of FSC 600, methanol, and maintenance chemistry — a ~$1/Mcf all-in for the wells on treatment.

The story of the quarter is a divergence between wells on plunger + foamer combo (generally holding within 5% of Q1 average) and the velocity-string + foamer wells (Brenner 4/5, Holloway 1, Pine Deephole, GH Winslow 4) showing 20-45% declines against Q1. The pattern is consistent with dosing gaps — target vs. actual chemical rate sits 10-25% short on most flagged wells. Recommended action going into Q2: re-dose the velocity-string cohort to target, re-baseline the plunger cohort with FSR audits, and evaluate Brenner 4 / Lyman 5 / Wolford 5 for plunger-vs-velocity conversion.

Program Summary & Q2 Recommendations

Three moves going into Q2. Sorted by cost-of-delay — velocity-string re-dose is the cheapest and highest-confidence win.

1 · Re-dose the velocity-string cohort to target. Brenner 4/5, Holloway 1, GH Winslow 4, Pine Deephole, Trevino 10, Mansfield 8 — all showing 20%+ decline vs Q1 with chemical rate 10-25% under target. Bumping the foamer 0.5-1.0 gpd on each is ~$300/well/month incremental spend against ~$1,200/well/month recoverable revenue. Confidence: high.

2 · FSR-audit the plunger cohort. Lyman 3/4, Jessica Crockett, Hawthorne Meridian 4/11, GH Winslow 5, Wesley 5/6, Vivian Garland 2, Clement 4, Halsey 2 — all within 5% of Q1 average (healthy) but FSR records are stale. Lock in a quarterly audit cadence so we know what target is actually being delivered at site.

3 · Evaluate Lyman 5 / Brenner 4 / Wolford 5 for lift conversion. These three show -45% vs Q1 with water rising 40%+ — classic plunger-falling-behind signature. Pull a plunger arrival log (or BHP if available) and scope a velocity-string trial on the worst of them. Rough capex: $8-12k/well installed. Payback: 3-6 months at observed deltas.
