TREATMENT METHOD:
One (1) - 15 gallon injection of Wel-Prep 5 in March 7, 1988. The well was shut-in for 5 days
and then circulated for an additional 24 hours. Gas pressure began to rise after the first 48 hours.
A 150 PSI pop-off valve began venting every 15 to 30 minutes by the 4th day. Well was turned
into production on March 13, 1988.

According to the producer, gas pressure increased on the Nole #1 within 48 hours following
treatment. The Noll #1 was turned back into production after a 5 day shut-in and one day's
circulation. It was pumped continuously (24 hours a day) with no pump cycle set. As of
1 April 1988 oil production was holding at 10 bbls per day, gas pressure had tailed off slightly
to 130 PSI and the API Gravity was holding at 29o.
