Fracking Backlog As Much As Four Months -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Based on "DRL" status of wells coming off the confidential list these past few days suggests that it is not unusual for well completions to be delayed by as much as four months or longer due to fracking backlog.

Wells that were spudded in October, 2011, are now coming off the confidential list and many of them remain in DRL status because they have not been fracked. The list is updated daily at this post.
