Random Look at Permits Issued in 2006 -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA

Periodically I like to see how older wells are doing now that we are into the seventh year of the North Dakota Bakken boom (updated May 30, 2014).

From my database for permits issued in 2006, I looked at the 20 wells with the highest IPs.

These are the results.

    Bruce, those Cedar Hills field wells for CLR are realitivly cheap, about $ 2 Million per copy.

    They do not frac stimulate them.

    The Cedar creek Anticline uplift naturally fractured the oil bearing strata. So they are 7-8 thousand ft deep and a horizontal lateral.

      I agree: simply incredible. $2 million vs $10 million for a Bakken, and a nice cumulative.

      I may have to do a stand-alone post on Cedar Hills.

      I think folks following only the Bakken in North Dakota are missing a whole lot more that the Bakken has to offer.

      In regard to 16276, BEXP, Erickson 8-17 IH -- I think that was one of the first wells BEXP drilled in that area and it had just a single frac stage. BEXP has learned a lot since then and their nearby wells 20171, Erickson 2H and 20178, Erickson 3H are both much better producers.

      Absolutely correct.

      I can't wait to see the 2014/2015 cumulative data. I think it's going to be quite remarkable. Yes, operators/fracking companies have learned a lot in just a few years. The various operators in the Bakken all brought something special to the table: BEXP will be credited for pushing max fracking stages.
