Staggering. More Evidence Why MRO Is Lilkely To Be Named The Bakken Operator Of The Year -- September 16, 2018

Remember when 70,000 bbls of oil in the first year of production was a good well? How about 70,000 bbls of oil in one month? 

Staggering.

Art Berman, no doubt, will point out the dreaded Bakken decline rate.

For newbies, note:

• four payzones: middle Bakken; three benches of the Three Forks
• twelve horizontals in each payzone
• = 48 horizontal wells in a drilling unit

As good as these wells are, they do not set a new IP record. See FAQ #9 to see the IP record:
