An Unexplained Jump In Production Of A Whiting Flatland Federal Well -- May 15, 2019

Note: always be careful with any of my postings. I am inappropriately exuberant about the Bakken. I sometimes see things that don't exist in the Bakken. This is another example. There's always possible there's a typographical error at the source, or an explanation that I have  not found, but here's another example of a jump in production with no obvious explanation. The mom-and-pop mineral owners probably don't really care -- they just appreciate their royalty checks.  The jump in production (see below) was not a full 30-days.

See this Flatland Federal posting for background. FracFocus is "down" right now so I cannot check recent frack data, but there is no sundry form suggesting a recent frack at this well.

The well:

• 27522, 4,207, Whiting, Flatland Federal 11-4TFHU, t101/14; cum 498K 3/19;

Neither of the other two wells (#27521, #27520) on that three well pad show any jump in production. 

Three older wells to the west show no jump in production either (#20589, #22360, #22361).

Five "30XXX" wells on a single pad in that immediate area:
