Happy Birthday, Amber Renee --

Updates

August 27, 2022: production updated, and a fourth well introduced. 

Original Post

The Amber Renee well was completed/tested almost exactly three years ago. It has produced about 750,000 bbls in those three years. It is still producing about 10,000 bbls/month, and is not on a pump (based on the scout ticket)

• 18408, TA/1,945,  Murex, Amber Renee 25-36H, Sanish, one mile to the west of the Chandler James; s12/09; t2/10; F ; "long" lateral; cum 750K 2/13;  822K 12/13; off line since 12/13;

This well is considered a "long lateral" but, in fact, is quite short, barely extending in to the second section;  the Chandler James is in the same section, running parallel to Amber Renee, but is a "full" long lateral;

The Chandler James:

• 17263,  3,124, Chandler James 25-36H, s7/08, produced 500,234 bbls in 484 days; as of 8/12 -- 899K; no pump; still producing 8,000 to 9,000 bbls/month; t10/08; cum 921K 2/13; cum 1,216,690 bbls 6/22;

Interestingly enough, another well is in the south half of the Amber Renee spacing unit, and although it is "two-acre spacing," in fact, it is not even as long as a typical short lateral:

• 16839, 864, Murex, Jacob Daniel 25-36H-RE, Sanish, t1/08; cum 417K 2/13; cum 562K 6/22;

The fourth well, added August 27, 2022:

• 36887, drl/A, Murex, Amber Renee 25-36H-R, Sanish, first production, 8/21; t--; cum 105K 6/22; full production:

For newbies: Bakken wells are expected to produce for 39 years. Average EURs for long laterals seem to range somewhere between 600,000 and one million bbl.

By the way, a bit of trivia: the best wells seem to be long laterals in sections 25-36, suggesting that the oil in the Bakken tends to run downhill towards the southeast corners in their respective townships. Just something to note.
