Re-Charging
Some people have written me suggesting that it is "normal" for wells to come back with increased production when they are shut-in for a number of months and then brought back on line. That's not my impression in the Bakken; it may occur (sometimes/often) but I don't know if I can call it "normal" for wells to come back stronger simply from recharging (being taken off-line for several months).
When I see a Bakken well that has significantly increased production after being off-line for a while, I assume it is something other than re-charging until proven otherwise.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. This well is in a great oil field, Clarks Creek, and yet after being off-line for almost a year, there was no bump in production once it was brought back on line (and, yes, perhaps the operator choked it back, limiting production):

While the older sisters are on their way to Nashville to see the eclipse, Sophia is shopping for groceries for Papa. Yes, she has my credit card. LOL.
