Huge Petro-Hunt Well Back On Confidential Status; The Well Will Be Lengthened -- November 30, 2020

Updates

June 15, 2021: apparently this was a success; initial data now being reported. 

Original Post

One doesn't see this often, but I expect we will start seeing this more often going forward.

This well was drilled back in 2006 and had produced just less than 1.8 million bbls of crude oil by April, 2020. Then, all of a sudden it was placed back on confidential.

Screenshot of sundry form, undated, but appears to have been submitted on/about September 22, 2020:

It appears the well will be increasd from 13,689' to 15,204', which represents an 11% increased in length. 

Coincidentally, this morning I was wondering whatever happened to "re-entry" wells. LOL.

The well:

• 16059, 729, Petro-Hunt, USA 2D-3-1H, Charlson field, t10/06; cum 1.776024 million bbls 4/20; still producing 6,000 bbls/month, 11/19; update at this post; off line 5/20; remains off line 6/20; two days in 7/20; there was no production, 5/20 - 6/20; then two days in July, 2020, and now on confidential list.

Bakken Trivia

I remember when I first started blogging about the Bakken, I was told by an "expert" that once a well had been on the confidential list and then came off the confidential, it could never go back on the confidential list. 

We've learned a lot over the years.
