: a reader had questions about the Anna drilling unit. Two videos, both almost identical:
1) the Anna wells, second;
2) the Anna wells, first

July 6, 2021: update regarding #32967 and fact that production "way down" for the Anna wells.

February 14, 2021: note from reader

September 27, 2019: "runs" updated at this post.

May 2, 2019: most recent production numbers (March, 2019) -- production about the same as previous month; might be up a bit; March -- a couple of days longer than February;

February 22, 2019: from the March 21, 2019, hearing dockets --

27411, CLR, Last Chance-Bakken, establish an overlapping 2560-acre unit, 27/28/33/34-154-100 and establish an overlapping 3840-acre unit, 4/5/6/7/8/9-153-100, two wells; Williams, McKenzie County. It appears these wells will pay royalties to those holding interest in CLR's Anna wells, but these will be on a 4-section drilling unit, not a two-section unit. 
February 5, 2019: additional graphics.


It should be noted that in the graphic below, the new Marcia wells, even the section line (2560-acre spacing well) will not be in any of the drilling units "occupied" by the Anna wells.



February 2, 2019: production data has been updated (see below, the individual wells). In addition, this is the updated graphic (unchanged from before). Currently there are nine Anna wells in this drilling unit. The original Anna well runs north to south (#23279). The other eight Anna wells run south to north. Those eight wells: four are middle Bakken and four are Three Forks first bench.  All current Anna wells are pretty much in the east half of the drilling unit. Eventually CLR will drill eight wells on the west side. In addition, there will be two wells along the section lines. This may not happen for years, but it will happen eventually. When CLR does drill those wells, the new wells will be even better than the current Anna wells.




June 6, 2018: production data for all the CLR Anna has been updated. In addition, more detailed look at the production of the original CLR Anna well is posted here.


December 28, 2017: updated graphic --

September 12, 2017: note post-shut-in-jump-in-production here.

June 5, 2017: update here

April 25, 2017: update here.

April 14, 2017: this is pretty cool. In the original post it was noted that a producing well near CLR's "Anna" wells in Last Chance oil field had not yet been taken off-line. Now, with the Director's Cut posted for February, 2017, data, we see that #23279 has been taken off-line. This means only one thing: CLR is getting ready to frack (or has begun fracking) the Anna wells noted in the original post below.

Original Post 

A sundry form for #30157 was received by the NDIC on December 20, 2016:
Please see the attached supplemental history of the well from 9/9/2016 - 11/9/2016. Continental Resources, Inc. had requested NCW status of this well but now is schedule (sic) to begin stimulation of the Anna multi-well pad beginning on 1/2/2016 (sic).
It's unusual for typographical errors on such sundry forms but the information on the form suggests the form was completed on/about November 8, 2016; it clearly shows that it was received by the NDIC on December 20, 2016, which both suggest that CLR was planning to stimulate the wells on this 8-well pad in early 2017.

A sundry form for #30156 had the very same information and the same dates, but interestingly, a pen-and-ink "2017?" over the "2016." This notation was probably made by someone at NDIC.

  1. Hi Bruce
    Thank you for all of your informatioon and comments over the years
    Is there any future development in Williams County or is it anticipated that there is little productive acreage left to drill especially near Williston.
    Thanks
    Bob Tjaden

  2. Bruce,
    I just received production from last month on Anna wells.
    Production has significantly been reduced. Is there any explaination?

    1. NDIC has not updated production for May, 2021, for the Anna wells as of this evening, June 24, 2021, over at the scout tickets (https://www.dmr.nd.gov/oilgas/basic/getwellprod.asp).

      I will have to reply to this after I see the May, 2021, numbers.

    2. Thank you again Bruce.
      I guess I was asking the wrong question. I was looking at CLR check stub and obviously oil sold, not necessarily produced.
      I was very surprised when the check amount was less than half of the previous amounts. Looking at the oil sold, there were wells that had little (0-250 barrels) sold.
      Is there an explaination for this drastic reduction?
      I see nothing on NDIC site that explains this.
      Just got back from Montana fly fishing the Ruby River.
      Things are sure changing.
      Again, Thank you for everything you have contributed to the Bakken experience (The favorite part of my day!!!)

    3. The NDIC still hasn't updated the May, 2021, data. as far as I can tell, at least not on the scout tickets. For the nine CLR Anna wells, total runs, which are fairly close to production:

      April 2021: 11,351 bbls
      March 2021: 12,102 bbls
      Feb 2021: 8,915 bbls
      Jan 2021: 15,235 bbls
      Dec 2020: 13,570 bbls
      Nov 2020: 13,396 bbls
      Oct 2020: 16,356 bbls
      Sep 2020: 14,693 bbls

      So, if the May, 2021, data reflects that little oil being sold, one suspects that CLR is managing their assets or perhaps getting ready to re-frack #32967 which has been inactive since November, 2020, and has been a very poorly performing well. The most recent sundry form for this well is from 2020 and there is no new information regarding this well.

      I'll have to watch for the production figures for May, 2020. But unfortunately I don't have any idea, either.

  3. Thank you so much for your research and response.
    You are my hero.

    1. Thank you. I have another note from another reader who shares a bit of light on the Anna wells, and that reader also agrees that going forward, future Anna royalties should be looking good. Whoo-hoo! Good luck.
