June, 2017, and July, 2017, data for top producing oil fields in the Bakken. Ranked by production / well for July, 2017, column 9.

Earlier this week some inconsequential Wall Street dweeb singled out Continental Resources as a company worthy of shorting. It wasn't so much what he said as how he said it that really, really irritated me. Harold Hamm is the "face" of the Bakken. Single-handedly one might argue he was responsible for making the Bakken what it is. He, along with a few others, like Mark Papa of EOG, and Bud Brigham of BEXP, pushed the envelope, and cracked the code, and along the way, provided thousands of men and women with high-paying jobs and gave them a sense of accomplishment and pride. Elm Tree is pretty much owned by CLR. Look at the production/well that Harold Hamm is getting out of these wells.

July, 2017, data, for Elm Tree:

• total production: 661,713 bbls crude oil
• total number of wells: 56
• average monthly production / well: 11,816 bbls of crude oil 
• CLR's wells, production, and production / well: 50; 651,485; 13,030 bbls/CLR well
• Hess wells, production, and production / well: 2; 620; 310 bbls/Hess well 
• Slawson wells, production, and production / well: 4; 9,608; 2,402 bbls/Slawson well
