It's a quiet Friday morning, July 16, 2010, in the Bakken oil patch.
For newbies, you might want to take a look at a commentary I posted some time ago regarding the "crazy numbers" in the Bakken.
My hunch in that commentary is validated by all the infill wells that Whiting will be placing in the Sanish, with most sections having four laterals, some with five, and it's even possible, some sections might have six laterals, at least to a very small degree.
For those who have read it, I have added a couple of paragraphs regarding CLR's Bice 1-29H and Bice 2-29H testing communication between the Middle Bakken and the Three Forks Sanish (old news, but important). There is so much data out there, some of it is easy to be overlooked. In this case, everyone was excited to see that the two wells did not affect each other, but I had not paid attention to the fact that the second well, the Bakken well, produced 70 percent more oil in its first 21 days compared to the first Bice well, the Three Forks well. I like to think that part of the increase was due to better technology or a different process (more fracking stages) or understanding of the field.
