History Of The Early Bakken, North Dakota, 2004 - 2006

Note: there may be typographical errors. If I am alerted to them, I will correct them.

This is a list of all Bakken wells, starting back in 2004, drilled leading up to this boom. These are all middle Bakken wells.

They are listed chronologically; older ones at the top; more recent ones at the bottom. I stopped at #15367 going backwards; #15367 was drllled in 2003.

Therefore, not counting #8201, which was a re-entry well drilled in 2004, the first Bakken well leading up to the current boom that I found was drilled in late 2004, #15570, which was dry.

The last Bakken well in this list was drilled in 2007 and is still active (#16498). So, unless I missed one or two, these are ALL the Bakken wells that were drilled between 2004 and the end of 2006 leading up to the current boom, which I think began in 2007 in North Dakota (2000 in Montana).

I did not include Bakken wells that were initially permitted and then canceled (PNC). I left a note to myself to start at #15366 and working backwards if interested in searching for any other earlier Bakken wells.

So, starting from #15570 and going through #16498, one gets a pretty good idea of the early Bakken wells.

Some things I noted:
  • the southwestern play in the Bakken seemed to hold the most interest early on
  • based on IPs and production to date, it's hard to imagine many of these wells were "economical," but on the other hand, almost all of them are still active; very few Bakken wells, no matter how small in production, have been taken off-line over the years
  • "holding by production" cannot be the reason many of these wells are still kept on-line; better wells have sprung up around them
  • for all the credit we give Harold Hamm (CLR) as being the "face of the Bakken," note how relatively few Bakken wells in this time period were actually drilled by CLR
  • note how tenacious these oil companies were; despite well after well that was not particularly exciting, they continued to drill very expensive wells
Even with these early "less-than-stunning" results, the analysts were saying:
I have not counted them, but look how long it takes to scroll down to find the first "exciting" Bakken well: perhaps the first "exciting" well drilled in the Bakken in North Dakota was the Murex well drilled in late 2006; note the IP compared to others prior to this one and its production:
  • 16284, 412, Murex, Amy Lynette 14-23H, Beaver Lodge, t9/06; cum 236K 3/14;
The next exciting well, perhaps it was this one:
  • 16324, 883, EOG, Parshall 2-36H, Parshall, t9/06; cum 313K 3/14;
After that well, operators continued without much success throughout the Bakken,  but EOG drilled a second well in the Parshall, and it was a stunner:
  • 16346, 1,800, EOG, Bartleson 1-3H, Parshall, t11/06; cum 432K 3/14; 
That was late 2006, but it wasn't until mid-2007, that EOG had two more good Bakken wells in the Parshall oil field:
  • 16369, 1,553, EOG, Warberg 1-25H, Parshall, t1/07; cum 381K 3/14;
  • 16370, 918, EOG, Ehlert 1-35H, Parshall, t4/07; cum 500K, 3/14; 
EOG continued to have success in the Parshall oil field, but even by mid-2007, there wasn't a whole lot of success, certainly not compared to what we are seeing now.

So, without further ado, here's the list:
  • 8201, 87, CRL, Robert Heuer 1-17R, a re-entry in a Madison -- DRY -- hole; Sadler field, 319,444 lbs of 20/40 sand; short lateral; t3/04; cum 112K 3/14;

      Yes, I was remiss in not mentioning that one #16059). Technically it was a Three Forks well, not a middle Bakken well, but that was not the reason for not including it on the list. At the time it was drilled, I believe there were debates on how the Three Forks was related to the middle Bakken (and there are still are arguments which is the reason for requests that the NDIC redefine the stratigraphic limits of the "Bakken; but I digress).

      I did not include it because I've followed this particular well for quite some time; mentioned it several times on the blog. #16059, Petro-Hunt's USA 2D-3-1H, has really, really perplexed me. There is no indication that this well was ever fracked. It was drilled/tested in late 2006, in the middle of all those other wells that were coming up short (see long list above). At the time, #16059 certainly seemed to be an outlier, and to some extent, is still an outlier -- in the sense that it is such an incredible well without a real good explanation. (But I suppose you could say that about the other great wells, also.) But, yes, I was remiss in not mentioning this one -- I will update the post, mention this comment. Thank you.
