Minimizing Production -- April 22, 2016

In addition to DUCs and completed wells being taken off-line, we also have great wells that are being "shut-back" (or whatever word one uses). For example, note this great well:

•  29060, 1,933, XTO, Amundson 34X-22C, Siverston, t7/15; cum 55K 2/16;

Just one of many, many examples. I don't know if Lynn Helms consider wells like these part of the 1,500 wells estimated to be "inactive."

This obviously affects statistics in the Bakken across the board.
