I noted this well
back in December, 2018, or thereabouts (remember, the paperwork lags what is going on in the field by two months):
- 18541, 161, CLR, Miles 1-6H, t11/10; cum 145K 11/18; still off line, since 1/18; just went back on line, 11/18 -- huge jump: 2,300 bbls over 8 days extrapolates to 8,700 bbls/month;
At that time, it was noted that the jump in production went from around 800 bbls/month to over 2,000 bbls in just eight days. We did not yet have a full month of data.
A huge "thank you" to a reader. We now have a bit more data. We still don't have a full month, but we now have the production for 20 days in December, 2018:
8,019 bbls and 23,619 MCF (3,936 boe) =
11,955 boe over 20 days which extrapolates almost 18,000 bbls / 30-day month.
Looking at just the crude oil production, the 20-day production would extrapolate to a little over 12,000 bbls / 30-day month. At 700 bbls/month, it would take a year-and-a-half to make up that new production. This new production jump is almost as good as the original frack, although the decline may be worse than what followed the original frack.
There is no evidence that this well has been re-fracked.
See full production at this post.
The Kennedy-Miles pad is tracked here and has been updated.
Much more could be written, but I will leave it at that.
Disclaimer: I am inappropriately exuberant about the Bakken.

The Science Page
I am currently in my Los Alamos - Richard Feynman phase, reading several books on the topic.
In the 1950s Richard Feynman became interested in superfluidity and superfluids. By the time I got to that point in the James Gleick biography it seemed Feynman had done so much I was hardly paying attention any more. But the section on Feynman and superfluidity was about six pages so it was obviously a big deal.
The other night while watching "The Big Bang Theory," Leonard mentioned superfluidity and there followed a short discussion among the ensemble. It was a rerun -- one which I had seen many times, but had never really paid attention to the superfluidity sidebar. But now, wow.
Hold that thought.
I started a
National Geographic subscription for the granddaughters some years ago. I renew every year (although I dislike it's editorial politics but that's another story).
I used to subscribe to
Scientific American but I quit that also due to the editorial politics of the magazine. But the other day, while reading something related to Feynman I needed to find an archival issue of
Scientific American. Long story short, I now have a subscription to
Scientific American (print edition) along with digital access to archives all the way back to 1845.
I received my first digital issue, the March, 2019, issue today. The cover story was about neutron stars and a big component of the article was about superfluidity.
So, it all comes around once more, from Feynman to "The Big Bang Theory" to
Scientific American.
By the way, the print copy will go to the granddaughters and they will also have access to the archives if necessary.
