The Incredible Bakken -- A 13-Fold Jump In Production -- October 17, 2019

This is pretty cool. Back in 2017, I wrote about this well:

• 17079 -- CLR, a nice well; petering out

So, let's see how this well is doing two years later.

First, the well:

• 17079, 559, CLR, Carson Peak 44-2H, Oakdale, t6/08; cum 324K 8/19; 

Some observations:

• this well was drilled back in 2008
• by now, the dreaded Bakken decline could have brought this well to "inactive"
• in fact? well, let's see

Production after I wrote that note in 2017 that this well was petering out, going from 180 bbls/month to 2,400 bbls/month (a 13-fold increase in production), and this is happening across the Bakken. The problem? Just too much to do in the Bakken.

By the way, we also saw this with another Bridger well.

• 17089, 400, CLR, Bridger 44-14H, Rattlesnake Point, t4/08; cum 374K 8/19; recent production:

Again, note the huge increase in flaring. Something is going on.
