Random Update Of A Few Monster Wells -- North Dakota, September 3, 2015

A random look at a few "monster wells." I track monster wells here

Long Lives

There are a few wells that are still active and have been producing longer than these two wells, but not many:
  • 3580, 480, Enduro, Rusch B 1, Sherwood, t6/64; cum 2.38 million 7/15 (that's 51 years of production) 
  • 1246, 161, Hess, Hawkeye-Madison Unit G-603HR, Madison, Hawkeye, s9/56; re7/05; t10/56; cum 474K 7/15; spudded 1956 (producing for 59 years); was inactive early in 2015; now active again; for an in-depth look at this well, click here

Lotsa Water

This well is now abandoned but it was producing as recently as 2013. A reader recently pointed out to me all the water some oil wells produce. They are not so much "oil wells with water" as they are "water wells with a little bit of oil." Common in the South Red River formation.
  • 15786, AB/1,119, Denbury Onshore, CHUSE 24A-18SH 15, Cedar Hills, a South Red River well, t9/05; cum 658K 11/13; 
Look at the production profile of this well near the end of its life:

A Monster Well Still Not On A Pump

"What happens in the field, stays in the field." It's possible this one has a pump and the paperwork simply hasn't caught up with scout ticket, but NDIC still has this well as "F" -- flowing, no artificial life:
  • 20210, 803, CLR, Whitman 2-34H, Oakdale, Bakken, s1/11; t9/11; F; cum 1.31 million bbls 7/15; 24 stages; 2.4 million lbs; middle Bakken; runs south; 4 section spacing; this is an incredible well; still 19,000 bbls in July, 2015;
