Enerplus Wells In Spotted Horn -- October 27, 2017

A reader asked about the Enerplus wells in Spotted Horn oil field. My observations:

• the Spotted Horn field is one of the best fields in the Bakken
• Enerplus is one of the best operators in the Bakken
• Enerplus is now on their "third-generation wells"
• the first generation wells were drilled early in the boom, back in 2010; poor to mediocre wells
• Enerplus began drilling second generation wells in late 2014 and 2015 and will produce 500,000+ bbls by 2018; these are huge wells by any definition of the word "huge"
• Enerplus began drilling third generation wells in 2017; common sense tells me they will be even better than second generation wells but too early to tell

Disclaimer: this was done quickly; not double-checked. If this information is important to you go to the source at NDIC. 

Here are the wells, listed in most recent file number to oldest file number.
