Idle Rambling On A Late Thursday Night -- A CLR Cedar Coulee Carus Well -- October 3, 2019

As mentioned earlier, I'm going through every 16XXX well -- see this note for background.

Every time I want to quit for the night I find another incredible example of "something."

I lost track of this well. I followed it for awhile. See this post. But it seems I completely lost track of it.

So, how is this well doing?

The well:

• 16648, 508, CLR, Carus 13-28H, Cedar Coulee, SESW 28-147-96; Bakken pool, t8/07; cum 302K 2/19; see this post where this well will be followed; the file report is still confidential (9:00 a.m. CT, April 18, 2019) 

So, that was April 14, 2019.

This was the production profile going into 4/19:

BAKKEN	4-2019	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
BAKKEN	3-2019	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
BAKKEN	2-2019	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
BAKKEN	1-2019	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
BAKKEN	12-2018	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
BAKKEN	11-2018	7	121	430	20	202	71	50
BAKKEN	10-2018	31	637	579	107	1044	6	619
BAKKEN	9-2018	30	620	755	83	1040	25	610
BAKKEN	8-2018	31	646	527	93	1061	19	623

Pretty grim, huh?

It sort of got worse, if that's possible:

BAKKEN	6-2019	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
BAKKEN	5-2019	4	208	194	6350	2469	0	2428

Now, the most recent two months:

Pool	Date	Days	BBLS Oil	Runs	BBLS Water	MCF Prod	MCF Sold	Vent/Flare
BAKKEN	8-2019	31	40586	40539	54740	48579	47682	478
BAKKEN	7-2019	30	42528	42338	60150	53111	45791	6925

And that's why I'm inappropriately exuberant about the Bakken. It's like a box of chocolates. I never know what I'm going to find next.

Also, take another look at that well. Who's drilling that well. Yup. Harold Hamm.

By the way, this was the production profile for this well for the first six months after it was originally drilled/completed:

BAKKEN	1-2008	31	9206	9299	378	7633	7633	0
BAKKEN	12-2007	31	8448	8431	305	7059	7059	0
BAKKEN	11-2007	30	8773	8617	249	8107	8107	0
BAKKEN	10-2007	31	11772	11829	564	10697	10697	0
BAKKEN	9-2007	30	14220	14180	858	623	623	0
BAKKEN	8-2007	31	10833	10729	2252	0	0	0

Compare that 14,220 bbls in September, 2007, to the 42,528 bbls in July, 2019, twelve years later.

And there literally thousands of these wells in the Bakken.
