Encore and QEP With Two (2) Nice Wells -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Coming off the confidential list today:
The QEP well came in with 954 bbls in the first month (30 days of production) but then in 30 days in December, 2010, came in with 19,771 bbls. Either timing of the fracking or takeaway issues resulted in the wide spread is my hunch. 

Murphy Creek is turning out to be a good field. But Murphy Field is one of the biggest fields in the Williston Basin. It is the north half that is the better half, and this Encore well is in the north half of the field.

    They are finally starting to do more mega stage frac in the field. I think the lower production areas are more completion related then over all potential.

    I agree completely. I've been going back through some production numbers and it is quite incredible how good some of these wells are.

    Later this summer, after we've had a good full two years from 2009 when multi-stage fracking became the norm, I hope to find time and publish some production numbers of wells producing for a full two years.

    ... and down the road, producers will go back in and re-frack some of the older wells. My understanding is that they are doing that in Elm Coulee, Montana.
