Oldest Well In North Dakota Now "Inactive" -- January 28, 2018

From an earlier post:
I believe #35 is the oldest active well in North Dakota.
Two payzone well, total production, ~ 2.2 million bbls since 1951; still active
  • 35, 503/PNA, Hess, Beaver Lodge-Devonian Unit H-310, s8/51; t4/52; Madison, 216K; PNA 
  • 35, 263, Hess, Beaver Lodge-Devonian Unit H-310, t3/60; Devonian, 2.08 million bbls; still active; almost 1,500 bbls monthly, 8/14; around 1,000 bbls monthly in 2015; Went inactive 12/13; back on line as of 8/15; 
  • Note: #35 is the oldest well in North Dakota still producing; all but two or three wells earlier than #35 were dry.  Well #2 was completed in 1923; well #1 was completed in 1916, in Ward County; it tested positive for trace oil. The Clarence Iverson well that started it all was drilled in 1951 (#25).
According to the scout ticket it looks like #35 went inactive in July, 2017:
