 Original Post

Yesterday, along with graphics and additional information, I posted this production data for this Bruin Fort Berthold well.

For newbies: 60,000 bbls of crude oil in one month is incredible. Some wells don't produce that much oil in two years. We are seeing more and more such wells in the Bakken. Although unusual, I'm not sure I can call #31774 production data below an "outlier."

After posting that note above, a reader sent me this note, with regard to that well:

• You showed last months production on this well   60,338 bbls 
• Look at this month:   96,182 bbls   My royalty statement.

Almost 100,000 bbls in one month, verified from a pay statement. I replied to the reader:

Wow, I know I am inappropriately exuberant about the Bakken but I think folks are way under-estimating what the Bakken is capable of producing. That is absolutely amazing. 

 Memo to self: notes need to be sent to Jane Nielson and Art Berman. The former said there might be "some oil" in the Bakken. The latter said he saw the beginning the end of the Bakken two years ago. One of the two is a recognized expert in the US oil sector.
