Random Update Of Pershing Oil Field -- February 20, 2016; And A Case Study

Disclaimer: In a long note like this, there will be typographical and factual errors. In addition, I may be seeing things that don't exist. I may have misread the NDIC GIS server map. I have not had a chance to proof-read or double-check things on this page. I will do that later. Don't quote me on any of this stuff. If this is important to you, go to the source, including the NDIC site and FracFocus. If you find errors, or have comments, or questions, I won't be back on the net until late tonight.

A Case Study

The Data Below Will Be Re-Posted As A Stand-Alone Later

This is an extraordinary bit of data. This post alone is worth the price of the subscription to the Million Dollar Way blog. There are several things I will point out from this case study, but I will have to do it later. I am on may way to watch some international water polo competition. But the data below is incredible. The Bakken never fails to surprise me. 

Look at the production profile of #17292, the index well, since September, 2012:

Random Update: Crude Oil Production In The Larger Bakken Fields In North Dakota, December, 2015/November, 2015 Data

Note: there will be typographical and factual errors on this page. I have double-checked some of the figures where they seemed "out of the ordinary" and in some cases I find an error (which was corrected) and in other cases, no error. In general, I think the numbers are pretty accurate.

This information is available at: https://www.dmr.nd.gov/oilgas/mprindex.asp. 

The data is taken from the November, 2015, and December, 2016, crude oil production numbers from the NDIC's monthly statistics. I have arranged them based on December production (descending). I think the table is self explanatory. The sixth column (percent change, from October, 2015, to November, 2015) cannot be verified with the data below because October, 2015, data is not shown.

The last column, "percent change" is the percent change from November, 2015, to December, 2015.

I think one of the most interesting data points to note is checking the number of producing wells in those cases in which there is a significant increase or decrease in production month-over-month.

This page is still in progress.
