Nice 15-Fold Jump In Production -- No Explanation Yet -- The Amazing Bakken -- October 13, 2019

So, two minutes after posting the epic, I went looking for something else and stumbled upon this.

This well was drilled in 2009.

Its initial production maxed out at 23K in the first full month of production.

It suffered the typical Bakken decline but plateaued out at 5,000 bbls/month; then, 3,000 bbls/month, and then finally 2,000 bbls/month, coming close to 500, 000 bbls total production by 2019.

Then this:

BAKKEN2-201927230422414273693342976

Let's see, 36,475 / 2,500 =  a 15-fold jump in production and off line for about two months; it never lost a full month of production.

API: 33-053-02954.

Not re-fracked: FracFocus - no data; NDIC file report -- no re-frack; last sundry form from 2015.

It's possible the paperwork is still in the mail but my hunch, based on other information, suggests that this is correct: that this well has not been re-fracked.

Original frack: August 27, 2009.

Target: Three Forks.

The well: #17668.

Wanna bet the two neighboring wells have been fracked?

FracFocus: no frack data as of October 13, 2019, has been posted.
