CLR Reports A Huge Frack: 83 Stages; 20 Million Lbs Of Sand; Neighboring Well With 10-Fold Jump In Production -- Middle Bakken -- October 23, 2019

Completion strategies since 2018 are tracked here. 

See this note for background.

A CLR Hereford Federal well came off the confidential list yesterday. The well is located in one of the best fields in the Bakken and seems to respond nicely to new fracks, and neighboring fracks.

With a new Hereford Federal well coming off the confidential list yesterday, I was curious how one of its neighboring wells was doing.

First, the newly fracked Hereford Federal well:

• 33026, 2,362, CLR, Hereford Federal 11-17H, Elm Tree, t9/19; cum --; the well produced 2,000 bbls over six days upon completion and then the well was immediately shut in for operational reasons; the frack: holy mackerel -- or as Sophia would say, "sweet mother monkey milk": 83 stages and 20 million lbs of sand; let's see what FracFocus says: fracked 12/23/18 - 1/13/09; 14.4 million gallons of water, 84% by mass; sand, 14% by mass; 

Now, the neighboring well:

• 19503, 275, CLR, Simmental 2-21H, Elm Tree, t12/10; cum 337K 8/19; from 2,100 bbls/month to 21,000 bbls/month, that's about a 10-fold jump. Recent production:
