Random Update: Notes On The Enerplus Tortoise/Turtle Pad In Antelope-Sanish -- March 13, 2020

Both Enerplus wells that came off the confidential list today were initially placed on the SI/NC list -- that is, they were DUCs. Then they were taken off the SI/NC list and put on the confidential list. Today, as noted, they were released from the confidential list.

I note this only because this makes it increasingly difficult to sort out which wells have been designated DUCs in the past. I will miss many of them I suppose. At the end of the day, it does not matter, but whether a well goes on the SI/NC (DUC) list helps me follow the activity in the Bakken.

It has always been a problem, but it will only get worse. 

The vast majority of Bakken wells, if not all Bakken wells, are on the confidential list at one time or another. We've talked about this before. The only wells that I report on a daily basis come of the confidential list. At the end of the day my database almost exactly matches the number of wells that the NDIC reported for that year.

Be that as it may, the two Enerplus wells that came off the confidential list today are tracked here.

These wells are in the Antelope-Sanish. There are many, many incredibly good oil fields in the North Dakota Bakken, but it was interesting that a spokesman/Bakken analyst suggested in an article in The Williston Herald earlier this week that the Antelope-Sanish oil field was the premier field in the North Dakota Bakken.

Although it's impossible for me to keep all these fields up-to-date, this is where the Antelope-Sanish is tracked. 

These are the two Enerplus "turtle" wells that came off the confidential list today:

• 35062, 1,018, , was SI/NC-->conf, Enerplus, Leatherback 152-94-33C-28H, Antelope, t9/19; cum 116K 1/20; F; 42 stages; 10 million lbs;
• 35065, 520, was SI/NC-->conf, Enerplus Map 152-94-33D-28H-TF1, Antelope, t9/19; cum 141K 1/20; F; 43 stages; 15.6 million lbs; (there is a common map turtle),

To see just how incredible this field is look at this well, tracked here:

• 27587, 2,188, Enerplus, Softshell 152-94-33C-28H TF, Antelope, Sanish, t11/14; cum 786K 1/20; incredibly good well with multiple bumps in production; off line 6/19; remains off line 8/19; back on line 7/19; 

Completion strategies since 2018 are tracked here.
