Some observations:

• this well is a single section well; spaced at 640 acres
• it is a very, very old well by Bakken standards, drilled back in early 2009 -- over ten years ago
• it is in a very, very good field, amenable to nice jumps in production with neighboring fracks
• the Charlson may just be the best field in the Bakken
• so, why was this well taken off line? Let's look at the map

The map:

The well that explains this:

• 31492, SI/NC, Petro-Hunt, USA 153-95-1A-7-5H, Charlson, no production data. 

NDIC shows this well as a DUC (SI/NC). However, FracFocus shows that this well has already been fracked: 8/11/19 - 8/19/19; a huge frack with 12.5 million gallons of water; 91.8% by mass; sand at 4.25% by mass; ceramics, 3.8% by mass;
