Original Post

I can't recall if I've updated this information, but my curiosity was piqued by a recent comment from a reader.

This is a CLR four-well pad in Oakdale oil field. These are incredible wells, so I was surprised to find that three of them were off-line. Backtracking through the four, this one came up last:

• 20212, 482, CLR, Whitman 3-34H, Oakdale, t9/11; cum 260K 10/12; API: 33-025-021261; according to FracFocus, it was re-fracked 9/23/17 - 10/5/17, with 9.8 million gallons of water, with water 84% by weight and proppant 15% by weight; a sundry form in the file shows that the re-frack was 61 stages and 14.5 million lbs of sand; a Three Forks frack; which is interesting because this was originally a Middle Bakken well; the Three Forks horizontal was a re-entry well drilled in July, 2017; the IP for the re-entered Three Forks horizontal was 1,006 bopd;

According to FracFocus, the other three wells on this pad have not been re-fracked. These three wells remain off-line or have just recently come back on-line. I expect they will be brought back on line within the next few months if not already back on-line (NDIC data lags field operations by about two months).

The other three wells:

• 20208, 960, CLR, Hawkinson 2-27H, Oakdale, t9/11; cum 449K 2/18;
• 20210, IA/803, CLR, Whitman 2-34H, Oakdale, t9/11; cum 1.5947 million bbls; off-line as of 10/17; updated 2/18;
• 20211, IA/263, CLR, Hawkinson 3-27H, Oakdale, t9/11; cum 385K 11/17; off-line and inactive as of 6/17; updated 2/18;

It is interesting that the two Hawkinson wells, running north were taken off-line, when it was a south-running horizontal (#20212) that was re-fracked. So, let's look farther north and see if there is something going on at the other end. Nope. No signs of any other activity.
