A huge "thank you" to Connie who writes often with great links but doesn't want me to post her comments:
Good grief, you don't think people are able to read the NDIC report without a re-post???
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you.
DeleteIt's a lot of work to post this data. So if I get enough folks to agree with you that it's not needed, I will start posting less data, and post more political commentary. Everything I post is in the public domain, so you are correct: folks can find easily find this information on their own. What they don't get is enough political commentary.
If you read my "disclaimer" and my "welcome" you will be reminded that I started tracking the data so I could better understand the Bakken. It was only after some time collecting data did I realize others might be interested in it, so I went "public" with it.
I used the web to post this data so that I could move it around from data base to data base and from URL site to URL site but if folks feel it's unnecessary, I will start posting this on a private site so it doesn't bother anyone.
Again, I appreciate your feedback. Maybe more on this later, now time to enjoy the grandchildren. Good luck to all.
Just joking. The individual who posted that note above writes me several times a day telling me how good the site is. She particularly enjoys the political commentary and wishes I would post more on my "rambling notes." I don't post her comments because in general I do not feel comfortable with folks thanking me for the site. But I thought folks would get a kick out of her latest comment.
So, no, nothing will change. I will continue posting data from the public domain. I am moving more and more of my political commentary to a) one daily "rambling" post; and/or b) updating old posts, so folks can more reliably count on seeing mostly Bakken information when they come to the site.
I will be increasing information from other plays (such as the Eagle Ford) because the other plays impact the Bakken, at least to some degree.
Since the request above (to minimize data posting) was done tongue in cheek, please do not respond to this thread.
And, again, good luck to all. I own no mineral acres, but I can enjoy the Bakken vicariously. But at the end of the day, it's all about the granddaughters, and my hope is that they will someday re-read this blog and have a great chuckle. It's amazing how much I've learned from the blog.
Bruce,
ReplyDeleteInteresting that XTO well Christiana 21X-6B did not report an initial production number. However, they did report that the well produced 11,723 barrels in April (26 days). That's 450 barrels per day. Nice.
Yes, I see that "frequently," "frequently," of course, being in the eye of the beholder: where an IP is not reported, but they have production. Remember, a producer has 30 days after the last day of the month when the well was fracked to report an IP. So, if the well was completed on May 5, 30 days after May 31, and one is at the end of June. So, an IP could be reported almost two months after the well has been completed.
ReplyDelete(By the way, thank you for finding room to comment despite my long, meandering note above.)
It's been my perception that in general, all the operators are getting better wells (based on IPs) which is what one would expect with experience, and increasing the number of frac stages. I updated Blue Buttes field, for instance (linked at the sidebar at the right, if interested), and it was interesting to see the improving IPs.
Interestingly enough, we are not see IPs of 3,500 or 4,000 which BEXP would report periodically in the early days. I'm not sure what to make of that. Something tells me they are moderating the number of frac stages/amount of proppant to get best bang for buck. If that makes sense.
