For newbies, let's go through the exercise.

I posted the "Nancy Dancing Bull" wells because one is coming off the confidential list today, and one of the three Nancy Dancing Bulls that has been reported, produced 55K+ in the first full month of production; a huge well
eager to see what the other Nancy Dancing Bull wells will do and the status of the rest of the wells in the immediate area
in that long list, there is one DUC (SI/NC);
the question is whether that well, #35715, has been fracked
going through the production profiles of the other wells, three wells were taken off line; one remains off line;
good wells in the Bakken that are taken off line often suggests fracking activity in the area
my hunch: that DUC, #35715, has been fracked
let's see what FracFocus has to say; NDIC has not yet posted any frack data;

FracFocus: according to FracFocus, the well, #35715, has been fracked; it was a one day, frack the day after July 4th, 2019, earlier this summer; no well in the Bakken is fully fracked in one day;
July 5, 2019 - July 5, 2019
106,562 gallons of water
93.4% water by mass
4.7% sand by mass
obviously something went wrong, or that was some kind of initial test/completion and WPX will come back to do a full frack; but the neighboring wells are coming back on line suggesting that for the time being, this well, #35715, is "done"
