Pondering Results of Marathon's Bakken Wells -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Elsewhere someone has asked about the results of Marathon wells in the Bakken.

Murphy Creek oil field provides some head-to-head data.

By the way, one of the milestones I watch carefully for individual wells, is how fast they get to 100,000 bbls. It appears "all" Bakken wells can reach that milestone in less than 36 months, but some of the better wells will hit that milestone in the first year.  My personal benchmark for a great Bakken well is 100,000 bbls by 18 months of production, and my benchmark for a really great Bakken well is 100,000 within the first year of production.

Just for the fun of it, there are some nice data points at "Monster Wells."
