Updates
August 27, 2022: production updated, and a fourth well introduced.
Original Post
The Amber Renee well was completed/tested almost exactly three years ago. It has produced about 750,000 bbls in those three years. It is still producing about 10,000 bbls/month, and is not on a pump (based on the scout ticket)

For newbies: Bakken wells are expected to produce for 39 years. Average EURs for long laterals seem to range somewhere between 600,000 and one million bbl.
By the way, a bit of trivia: the best wells seem to be long laterals in sections 25-36, suggesting that the oil in the Bakken tends to run downhill towards the southeast corners in their respective townships. Just something to note.
This is a classic example of a study producing a claimed result without understanding the real root cause. (I understand you are joking)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites is that playing musical instruments makes you more intelligent. Or is it just that those that can afford musical instruments tend to be more intelligent in the first place.
I suspect the reason for better results is that the government is more likely to audit reports and there is less funny business in the school sections with the potential of audit near.
You might be right (about more honest reporting in the school sections); I never thought of that (but yes, I was joking; seeing if anyone pays attention; not many, it appears).
DeleteA long, long time ago, I actually posted a short note on school sections, and archived the note near the bottom of the sidebar at the right:
