Just An Observation -- Some Great Whiting Wells Being Taken Off-Line -- October 3, 2016

Tonight I was in the process of updating some production numbers for wells drilled back in 2010 and 2011. First I noticed one well, and then another, and before I knew it, I had several great Whiting wells that were on-line "every day" (with the usual trivial exceptions) through July, 2016, and then abruptly taken off-line in August, 2016 -- not one day on-line in August, not one barrel of oil produced in August, 2016. I was updating wells with good production numbers. I probably updated 30 wells, and the following popped up:

October 8, 2016: the three incredible Whiting Flatland Federal wells in Twin Valley went off-line in July, 2016: three huge Whiting wells (#27520, #27521, #27522).

Updates

January 7, 2017: either I made an error, or data was updated at NDIC. None of these wells were taken off-line 9/16. None of these wells have been taken off line.

  • 18295, 1,260, Whiting/KOG, Moccasin Creek 16-3-11H, Moccasin Creek, 1 sec, t2/10; cum 435K 7/16; taken off-line all of 8/16;
And then this one, a stand-alone post earlier. This well was inactive for several months, then came back on-line, only to come back off line as of 8/16 (update, this one was not taken off-line -- either I made a mistake, unlikely, or NDIC updated data):

  • 18507, 1,946, WLL, Lahti 24-22H, Sanish, Bakken, t6/10; cum 513K 11/16;
Just an observation. I will follow up on these wells in a few months.
