Well, This Was Exciting For 30 Seconds -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA
NDIC reports a well with an IP of 12,419. Unfortunately it's an error. If one goes to the well file, one will see that the company's reported IP was a much more credible 1,419:

That can be hard on an old guy's heart!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it! It certainly got my attention. I was surprised that others have not commented on it yet.
DeleteI agree.....But 1400+ bopd is still not a bad IP for a Three Forks formation well........ Dave
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome. The wells just keep getting better over time. Experience, experience, experience, and increased number of stages.
DeleteHow do you find out how much oil this well is actually pumping?
DeleteThe NDIC posts this information at its website. The initial production (IP) number is posted when the well comes off the "confidential" or "tight hole" list in most cases; sometimes the IP is delayed. The information is posted on a daily basis with the "daily activity report" which requires no password or subscription, but it is very painful to locate an IP using this method.
DeleteThe best way is to use NDIC's "Basic Services." That requires a password/subscription for $50/year.
If one is interested only in the IP, one can usually find it on my site by using the blog's built-in search application. Just go to the top left of the blog and type in the file number and click on the little magnifying icon. If the IP has been reported, I generally have that posted.
