Random Update of Permits Issued in 2007 -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA

Periodically I like to see how older wells are doing now that we are into the fifth year of the North Dakota Bakken boom.

From my database for permits issued in 2007, I looked at the 20 wells with the highest IPs. I also looked at the 20 wells with the lowest IPs (with a minimum of 10 bbls).  Since BEXP did not have any of the highest IPs, nor any of the lowest, I also looked at ALL of the BEXP permits issued in 2007.

These are the results.

Wells with highest IPs; all Bakken. Note that none are actually five years old yet. The oldest were drilled in December, 2007:
