Random Note On A Monster Well

There is nothing in the well file (Basic Services) to explain why this well is on "inactive" status.
  • 16997, 1,520, EOG, Van Hook 1-13H, Parshall, t6/08; cum 500K 7/13; placed on inactive status in 4/13; appears to be pumping again in 7/13;
From what I can tell on the GIS map server, nothing is going on this area. There is a well in the final states of being completed one mile north, but the horizontal will not pass through section 13 (#16997)

Interestingly enough, another well, one mile east, and in the same section that the new horizontal will pass through, is also listed as being on "inactive" though it produced one day in July:
  • 16971, 1,148, EOG, Evenson 1-18H, Parshall, t5/08; cum 310K 7/13; placed on inactive status in 4/13; appears to be pumping again 7/13;
One possibility: neighboring wells, even a mile away, might be taken off status during drilling, fracking operations, though it seems like a long time to be taken off-status. Just idle rambling, trying to learn more about the Bakken.

I track "monster" wells here

The well in final stages of being completed:
  • 25056, conf, EOG, Van Hook 33-1218H, Parshall, 1920-acre spacing (L-shaped);
