Random Update Of An Old Bakken Well In Squaw Creek; No Evidence Of A Re-Frack -- October 30, 2019

Until recently, I had not seen FracFocus with frack data before 2012 (in the Bakken). That doesn't mean FracFocus did not have such data or that wells were not fracked before 2012 (obviously not the case), it simply means I had not see FracFocus data for Bakken wells fracked before and during 2012; I had looked at a lot of those wells that were drilled / completed before and during 2012.

Today, I see that FracFocus has the data for a well that was fracked in late 2011, a one-day frack on December 30, 2011, and tested on January 4, 2012. FracFocus shows 2.1 million gallons of water, 82% by mass; sand, about 6.5% by mass. Neither FracFocus nor NDIC suggests this well was ever refracked.

If the "average" production just prior to 8/19 can be taken to be about 1,500 bbls/month, then the jump in production to 14,483 bbls (normalized to 30 days), then we have a 10-fold increase in production.

This well had been previously identified/listed as a well of interest but that frack data had not been posted until now.
