Updates

Original Post 

Disclaimer: this was done very quickly; it's a relatively long note; there will be factual and typographical errors. If this is important to you, go to the source. I am posting it now based on available information, subject to change. But it was done quickly and errors are likely, but it gives me a good idea of what's going on in this particular area of the Bakken.

The four wells on the 4-well pad in the northeast corner of section14-145-94 are still on confidential list. A reader sent me initial production "runs." Because these wells are on the confidential list we don't know how many days they have been producing. Two of them have probably produced about two weeks; the other two closer to a full month. The initial production data for each of these four wells is noted below.

In addition, an old, old well, the Lily Reiss well was also re-fracked around the same time as these new wells were fracked but has not yet been brought back on line.

A huge thanks to the reader for providing this initial data.

The MRO-Bailey is a particularly interesting field. See tag. Also, see Bailey oil field.
