After posting the story regarding the Scanlan below, others pointed out other good wells.

See the Berquist wells here.

Original Post

The Scanlan 3-5H is a great well. It was tested back in September, less than a year ago and it has already produced almost 90,000 bbls of oil (this figures does not include natural gas). The NDIC data is about two months behind, so this cumulative is through June. Obviously by the end of August, "we" might have another 10,000 bbls pushing the Scanlan to 100,000 before one year is up from the test date.

18770, 819, North Plains Energy, LLC; Scanlan 3-5H, Truax oil field, Middle Bakken; s6/10; t9/10; cum 150K 10/11; 21 stages; 2.1 million lbs; producing at 3,000 bbls/month 10/12;

So, this is what this all means:

• 18770: file number
• 819: IP
• North Plains Energy, LLC: current operator
• Scanlan 3-5H: name of well
• Truax: the oil field in North Dakota

• 87,835 totals bbls produced to date (just bbls of oil; does not include natural gas)

For newbies: note the decline rate
