Looking At Wells Coming Off The Confidential List 1/16 -- Why The Bakken Remains So Interesting -- January 11, 2020

Updating wells that came off the confidential list in the first quarter 2016. These wells are four years old; they should be in terminal decline (the dreaded Bakken decline) and yet, here we are, jumps in production in these old wells. The Bakken never ceases to amaze.

This is why I find the Bakken so exciting.  Hubbert said this was not supposed to happen.

The well:

• 29669, 962, CLR, Sorenson 6-16H2, Alkali Creek, 4 sections, Three Forks Second Bench, 15 stages, 2.9 million lbs, 8/15; cum 179K 11/19;
