Wells Reporting High IPs Over The Past Few Days; Look At Those BR Mesa Verde Wells!

I doubt folks spend much time surfing through the archives at the sidebar at the right, but one may want to take a look at the list of Bakken wells with high IPs. These are the wells with high IPs that have been reported in the past five days:

• 23570, 2,602, Newfield, Sand Creek Federal 153-96-23-14-10H, Keene, "Bakken/ThreeForks," t2/13; cum --
  
• 23374, 8,683, Hess, EN-Ortloff 156-94-2635H-2,  Big Butte, t2/13; cum 17K 1/13; 
• 22740, 3,863, Oasis, Larry 5301 44-12B,  Baker, t9/12; cum 51K 1/13;  
• 22642, 2,271, Oasis, Birdhead 5200 41-22T, Camp, t10/12; cum 74K 1/13;
• 21591, 2,662, Newfield, Sand Creek Federal 153-96-23-14-2H, Keene, t2/13; cum --,
• 21057, 2,982, BR, Hilman 31-29H, Haystack Butte, flaring; t12/12; cum 3K 1/13;
• 23295, 2,592, BR, Mesa Verde 14-22TFH, Clear Creek, flaring, t1/13; cum 3K 1/13;
• 23261, 3,880, BR, Mesa Verde 34-22TFH, Clear Creek, t2/13; cum --
• 23263, 2,978, BR, Mesa Verde 44-22TFH, Clear Creek, t3/13; cum --

Clear Creek is right in the middle of the sweet spot of the Bakken, northeast McKenzie County; about 15 miles northeast of Watford City.

Again, for newbies, I only include wells with IPs above 2,000 or so on the "high IP" list. Before the Bakken boom, "we" were happy with wells that had an IP of 350; and thrilled with anything above 500 or 750 bopd for an IP. Of course, IPs exceeding 1,000 bopd were incredible. And then along came BEXP regularly reporting wells with IPs greater than 2,000 bopd. Now, look at this list: Newfield, Hess, Oasis, BR.

By the way, I have my doubts about the Hess EN-Ortloff well. The well file has not been posted so we can't verify that Hess reported this IP. Once the well file has been posted, we will know more.
