Why The Bakken Was So Exciting In The Early Days -- January 20, 2018

This page won't be updated.

A few months ago I started tracking wells that produced in excess of 50,000 bbls in a single month, a phenomenon that was occurring more often in 2017 with higher intensity fracks (more stages; more proppant).

But as it turns out, there was an occasional well in the early days that produced in excess of 50,000 bbls in one month. Look at this one. EOG drilled a short lateral that produced 50,042 bbls in its first month of production:

Note again, this was a short lateral. Extrapolated to a long lateral, this well produced 100,000 bbls of crude oil in the first month back in 2008; a open hole frack using about 2 million lbs sand.
