Random Update Of A CLR Holstein Federal Well In Elm Tree -- November 5, 2018

I don't add many wells to my "monster well" page; there are just too many. To get added as a "monster well" these days something remarkable must be noted.

On the other hand, some wells were noted to be "monster wells" from the beginning.

Example. Completed/fracked in February, 2015, and by the end of 2016, had accumulated close to
500,000 bbls of oil:

• 27564, 1,235, CLR, Holstein Federal 2-25H, Elm Tree, 40 stages, 4 million lbs, t2/15; cum 453K 11/16; 

So, now what? Today:

• 27564, 1,235, CLR, Holstein Federal 2-25H, Elm Tree, 40 stages, 4 million lbs, t2/15; cum 708K 9/18.

Certainly, this should be a million-bbl well; Bakken wells will produce for 35 years.

By the way, look at the full production profile for this well at this post.

According to data (or lack of data) at FracFocus and NDIC, this well has not been re-fracked.

This is from an earlier note regarding another Bakken well:

But not only that, it did something we are not supposed to see in a well. After declining production, all of a sudden this well had a huge jump in production. The "peak oil" folks / conventional oil folks tell us that is not supposed to happen during primary production.

Apparently this is not seen in conventional oil wells. I don't know. I never followed the oil industry until I started following the Bakken. But reading the peak oil blogs, it's my impression that jumps in production once a well starts to decline is not generally seen. Whatever. 

This well has been such a great producer, I'm not sure one can say there has been definite jumps in production or whether the operator is simply "managing" the well.
