Random Example Of Bakken Well Being Choked Back; Random Example Of A Great CLR Well -- November 7, 2015

NOTE: this page has caused a lot of confusion. I discuss the confusion in one of the comments below; I don't want to go through it all again.  I recommend folks a) ignore the entire page; b) pay attention to the raw data and ignore my comments and subject lines; and/or c) read everything at your own risk. The comments might help. 

Note, July 30, 2016: I now see why this page caused so much confusion. The production profile was apparently incorrect.

July 30, 2016: it looks like the original production profile was incorrect, and has been updated since originally reported. See production profile in original post. This is the updated production profile:

November 8, 2015: I'm being told that this well is not being "choked back" as suggested by the title; water and natural gas are still being produced. I'm confused. It won't be the first time (that I'm confused).

November 8, 2015: see first comment. Reader wonders how a well that is producing water after six months produces absolutely no oil? One would think that some oil would come up with the water. I couldn't provide satisfactory answer; maybe someone out there knows. It has to be a simple answer.

Update On A Wildcat

28571, dry with plans to P&A, Roff Operating Company, Osterberg 2-16 H1, wildcat, far north, and east, about 6 miles northwest of Mohall, near Little Deep Creek oil field, a Madison formation area; if a good well, might extend Little Deep Creek east, no production data; very, very interesting -- the geologist's report states that the target was the middle Bakken; that the wellbore entered the middle Bakken target at 6,350 feet (shallow); oil present; gas values ranged between 50 and 100; the dipping suggests that anticlinal oil trapping structures could exist and be exploited; awaiting fracture/completion; spud August 20; ceases drilling September 13; total drilling days, 26; short lateral (640 acres); [Update: stimulated 5/15; 15 stages; 152K sand; many, many problems with the well, plan to P&A this well]. Mohall is near the Canadian border, about 50 miles NNE of Minot, ND; very little Bakken activity in this area

I track the Deep Water Creek Bay here, though it has not been updated in quite some time (I will do that when I find some time, if the spirit moves me).

Note number of stages and amount of proppant (62 stages, 15.3 million lbs); also note total production to date (>211K bbls)
