Random Update Of Whiting's Huge, High-Intensity Fracked Well Reported Today -- October 25, 2017

This page won't be updated. I track new wells elsewhere.

But I wanted to point this one out: a huge well following a high-intensity frack. It is located not far from Williston. The well is northeast of Boomtown.

The well:

• 33079, 2,217, Whiting, Northern 31-30-1H, Springbrook, 45 stages, 12.9 million lbs, t4/17; cum 114K 8/17; 

Monthly Production Data:

Now, a bit more about the location. One neighboring existing well did not show any halo effect, but another one did:

This well was to the east; this well runs in the opposite direction from the new well. This well runs south to north, whereas the new well runs north to south. FracFocus has no data to suggest this well was re-fracked. The well:

• 25530, 1,383, Zavanna, Sylvester 32-29 2H, Springbrook, t11/14; cum 311K 8/17;

Another well, #25529, farther to the east, was taken off-line while the new well was fracked but did not have any jump in production. The jump in production did not last very long and may not make up for the amount of time the well was taken off-line.

But there's more. While looking at this area on the NDIC map I was blown away by how big Williston has become since the boom -- not necessarily in population but in land area. If I run across an old screen shot showing the size of Williston when the boom began, I will post it, but regular readers and older folks will immediately notice how "huge" Williston's footprint has become.

 Google maps has not updated Williston's limits. Google maps continue to show "the old Williston."
