Random Look At Three Beaver Lodge Devonian Wells -- 50 Years Old -- North Dakota, USA

Earlier this evening I got to rambling about a Devonian/Duperow well.

Here's another great Devonian well:

• 1820, WI/PNA/331, Hess, Beaver Lodge-Devonian Unit C-3091, Beaver Lodge, Devonian; s5/58; t9/58; cum 1.64 million bbls; was producing about 2,000 bbls/month when it was taken off-line 3/02;

That well was spud when I was in second grade, in 1958. Produced until 2002.

Another Devonian well just one mile north:

• 2091, 249, Hess, Beaver Lodge-Devonian Unit C-311, Beaver Lodge, Devonian; s11/58; t2/59; cum 1.4 million bbls; and still producing about 700 bbls/month (1/14)

And here's one spud the month/year I was born (same well; two pay zones):

• 35, 503, Hess, Beaver Lodge-Devonian Unit H-310, Beaver Lodge, Madison; s8/51; t4/52; cum 216K bbl last produced 2/60

• 35, 263, Hess, Beaver Lodge-Devonian Unit H-310, Beaver Lodge, Devonian; t3/60; cum 2.05 million bbls 11/13; taken off line 12/13;

Just rambling. 

That last well: 2.2 million bbls of oil and spud in 1951. Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm.
