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:

Chronologically by permit number, the next well that was recently still active was #443:

• 443, IA/409, Hess, Beaver Lodge-Madison Unit S-27HR, Beaver Lodge, Madison, t8/54; cum 747 4/17 (last month of any production; it appears this well was re-entered in 2003 as a re-entry second leg horizontal; and re-named

Chronologically by permit number, the oldest well that is still active is #554:

• 554, 408, Hess, Tioga-Madison Unit L-128HR, Beaver Lodge, Madison, t8/54; cum 273K 11/17; in the file report, there is a letter dated March 29, 2017, stripper well status; it appears that in 1999 that the well was re-entered; and re-named; producing since 1954, this well is still active, having produced for about 64 years;
