The other day I posted a note on how operators cut back on production during the slump in oil prices. I did not particularly care for that post, but had put too much effort into it to simply delete it. The data was correct; the point I was trying to make was legitimate, but it was not written well and might have confused some folks. The landmen in the Bakken were probably disappointed, or worse, were laughing at the post. Be that as it may, here are some better examples. Look at these wells and their production profiles:
