  1. Hey Bruce its nice to be able to come to you for information. if they don't frac a well and put a pump on it with out fracking it, How long does it take to put a pump on a well? an also does that mean they figure the pump will give more Barrels? Thank You for your Great Knolwedge! Bruce's Grandaughters It's a Fact! Gene

  2. I'm not sure what you mean by "if they don't frack a well." With very few exceptions, all horizontal Bakken wells are fracked.

    "How long does it take to put a pump on a well?" It seems wells are taken off-line for about 5 to 10 days to place a pump on a well. If problems occur in the process, it can take much longer. That's just a guess; I haven't seen anyone write about it, and I don't have experience in the oil patch. It's just based on data provided at the NDIC website.

    Whether or not a pump is placed, the amount of oil at the bottom of the hole remains the same. The problem is that if there is no natural pressure to force the oil out of the ground, a pump is needed.
