New Wells Reporting -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

I normally post these on my "New Wells Reporting" page, but there are so many today, I thought this would be a great day to show the "newbies" what is going on in the Bakken. This is incredible, not so much because of the IPs, but because the number of wells that came off the confidential list over the weekend:

18548, 871, Fidelity, Harstad 44-9H, Stanley, Bakken

18925, 1,521, Slawson, Phoenix 1-18H, Van Hook, Bakken

Comment: it is clear that Whiting has a "cash cow" in the Sanish which will help it finance its work in the Lewis and Clark prospect in southwestern North Dakota. Note the nice Three Forks wells. Again, most of the numbers in red are "24-hour flowback" results which will decline significantly. The poor results in some cases make one wonder whether they have been fracked, or how the fracking was done. The Clear Water field which has interested me from "day one" has been a relative disappointment.  Wells in the Alger usually "do better." I have no idea what to say about the Sagebrush well in the Portal field, targeting the Madison Pool (Red River formations, etc).
