Updates

March 9, 2019: I could have picked any well in this group to highlight. They are incredible. Production data for #34484, Yellowface:

Original Post

I am completely blown away by this well.  I am re-posting the original note with minor edits and updates.

In addition to everything else, note that it is a Three Forks upper bench well. Years ago, Lynn Helms famously said that the Three Forks was likely to be better than the middle Bakken on a well-to-well comparison. For newbies: that would be comparing a TF with a MB drilled from the same pad, using optimized completion strategies on both.

Also, note: the drilling unit has eleven horizontal wells; room for many more.

For newbies: when the boom began, folks were drilling wells anticipating an EUR of 375,000 bbls.

The geologist's report and the fracking data is yet to be scanned in at the NDIC site.

The spacing unit: 1600 acres according to the permit. S23 &24T151 R94 - W/2 19T151 R93;

Staggering:

• crude oil: extrapolates to 107K over 30 days
• natural gas: extrapolates to  17K boe over 30 days
• total boe extrapolates to 124K over 30 days
