From The EOG 2Q15 Conference Call -- August 7, 2015

Updates

August 6, 2016: I can't recall if I've posted this link before. With regard to #30286, from Bakken Magazine:

Bill Thomas, chairman and CEO of the independent oil and gas producer, explained how the company has drilled and completed the best Bakken well in the history of the play.

Using its high-intensity design, EOG drilled and completed a well—Riverview #102-32H—in its Antelope field area that produced 200,000 barrels of oil in its first 91 days for an average daily production total of roughly 2,200 bopd.

Although the well is still on confidential status, Thomas said the well’s results are “definitely repeatable.” The horizontal was drilled at only 4,600 feet, only half of the typical length for most Williston Basin wells.

The process used is similar to that of EOG’s Eagle Ford approach to completing wells. Instead of the 540 fracture events per 1,000 foot of lateral EOG accomplished in 2010 wells, its 2015 wells are completed with 4,030 fracture events per 1,000 feet.

According to Thomas, the new approach generates 8 to 10 times the number of fractures within 1,000 feet when compared to the old method. Containing fracture events closer to the wellbore is crucial for EOG.

EOG now works to keep fractures within 200 to 300 feet of the well bore.

“It allows us to downspace and drill wells closer and closer together,” he said. In addition to wellbore proximity for fractures, the drilling teams are working to keep the bit within a 20 to 30 foot window instead of the traditionally accepted 100 to 150 foot drilling window.

From a sundry form: EOG is selling this crude oil to Shell Trading (US) Company at the lease. Shell will use Prairie Field Service as the crude transporter. Effective October 1, 2015.

From a sundry form: EOG is selling this crude oil to Enterprise at the lease. Enterprise will use Big Lease Trucking to transport the crude. Effective November 1, 2015.

There was vegetation fire in the area; well was shut in during a few days in August, 2015.

From a sundry form: "In order to increase frac volumes, EOG respectfully requests authorization to increase the hole size and lay 5 1/2" liner as described in the Preferred Option.

September 21, 2015: the other well on the 2-well pad with #30286:

• 19247, 1,692, EOG, Riverview 01-32H, Antelope, off-line much of 2015, short lateral, 320-acre spacing; 15 stages, 9.2 million lbs; t11/10; cum 305K 12/20; off line for fifteen days, 4/20; cum 317K 10/21;
  

September 18, 2015: I'm going to quit blogging! I have seen something so incredible, I cannot even get my hands around it as they say. This is so incredible. I thought I was overly exuberant about the Bakken, but I have been overly conservative. A reader brought this to my attention. This well is still on confidential status but look at the production in the first full month (for newbies, a well that produced 50,000 bbls in the first year back in 2007 was considered a good Bakken well. This well produced almost 100,000 bbls in the first month -- okay, a little hyperbole but 87,531 bbls of oil in the first full month of production.

• 30286, see above, EOG, Riverview 103-32H, Antelope, s3/16/15; TD 3/20/15; short lateral, t-pending; cum -- 

Date	Oil Runs	MCF Sold
10-2015	39182	53058
9-2015	45278	56321
8-2015	39590	10574
7-2015	87531	0
6-2015	35152	0

Note: this was a short lateral. I don't agree completely, but some folks feel that, all things being equal, a long lateral (two sections) should double the production of a short lateral (one section), which this one was. If so, this would have produced in excess of 150,000 bbls the first full month.

But I'm kidding. I will keep blogging. But it seems I've been way too conservative in my estimates of what the Bakken can do. I hope the roughnecks and frackers were rewarded for this incredible well. The well is still on confidential list so we don't know the completion history.

From EOG's 2Q15 conference call: 

• 30286, SI/NC-->conf -- see above, EOG, Riverview 102-32H,

• maximum rate: 3,395 bopd
• 6 million cfpd
• with an average rate of 2,760 bopd for July, 2015, this short 4,300' lateral will be the highest rate ever recorded for the Bakken or Three Forks

Also at Bakken Magazine.com: EOG calls this their best well to date.
