Random Update Of Several Burke County Wells -- March 7, 2019

A reader alerted me to these wells in Burke County, pretty much a tier 3 area. I haven't looked at a "hot spot" map lately but I would assume this is where the Three Forks would "pinch out," and one might think the Three Forks wells would be better than middle Bakken wells. But note the newest well, a middle Bakken well, #34766, with production profile down below. A few observations:

• the earlier wells, Three Forks or middle Bakken were not "good" wells but they did what they were supposed to do (we've talked about that before)
• the early wells were small fracks
• even #34766 was a relatively small frack
• perhaps with better understanding of the geology, and optimized completion (frack) strategies, this area can move to Tier 2, or even Tier 1 -- depending somewhat on price of oil
