Random Update Of BR's Kings Canyon #18018 -- September 23, 2017

Updates

April 4, 2020: update here.

Original Post

Take a look at the graphic at this post.

#18018 was recently off-line, but back on status.

Look at the "unusual" location of the horizontal for #29434, brought all the way over to line up exactly against #18018:

#29434, a Three Forks well, was fracked 7/8/2015, with 36 stages and 4.2 million lbs of large/small sand:

• 29434, 1,080, BR, Kings Canyon 3-1-27MTFH, Camel Butte, 4 sections, t8/15; cum 68K 8/17;

So, the natural question is, what did the production profile for #18018, a middle Bakken well,  look like in late 2015?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see a middle Bakken well neighboring this well; the two wells nearest the middle Bakken well (one on either side of the middle Bakken well, #18018) are both Three Forks wells. Just saying. FracFocus does not have any data for a frack of #18018 in 2015.

In other words, #18018 was producing about 1,000 bbls/month. It was taken off line for less than six months and when it came back on line it produced almost 20,000 bbls/month or 20 months of production in one month. And that was sustained for two months and then declined quickly.

When it costs upwards of $10 million to drill/complete a well, I don't think locations of horizontals are random or coincidental.
