Look at the production history for a Haystack Butte well that is a couple of years old:

The was originally a Burlington Resources well but it was transferred to Continental Resources in November, 2011. The Bakken is known for its horrendous decline rate, but look at the production history for this well. I don't see much of a decline; I see a lot of variability. What's with 10,000 bbls of oil produced in two days in April, 2012? And almost 9,000 bbls in just 14 days in February, 2012?
Note that the well is hooked up to a natural gas pipeline and is no longer flaring.
This is:
- 18615, 480, CLR/BR, Jorgenson Federal 44-9H, Haystack Butte, t7/10; cum 216K 4/12;
Those are incredible production numbers! I wonder what their secret is -- and I wish they'd share it with my oil company.
ReplyDeleteA very interesting read. Thanks.
