CLR Will Report A Huge Wahpeton Well -- May 12, 2020

This page will not be updated. The CLR Wahpeton wells are tracked here. 

Back on March 27, 2020, I noted that with oil prices plummeting (going to $0 in some cases), Bakken operators were not reporting production data of DUCs coming to the end of their two-year deadline. Operators were using many new classifications, such as F/A or SI/A. I noted that there really was no way to easily and/or uniformly track these wells. The best I could do was list them as they were reported, and then follow them occasionally.

Here's another great example. This CLR Wahpeton well was a DUC. At some point (the two-year deadline?) it was reported as flowing/active, but no IP. Today, I notice that the well is now on (back on?) the confidential list, something out of the ordinary. So, apparently it ran out the clock as a DUC and was then put on the confidential list. Sure enough, it shows up on the confidential list, and will come off the confidential list on July 16, 2020:

• 35913 F/A -->conf, BR, Wahpeton 15-16HSL, 33-053-08889, fracked 12/19/19 - 12/28/19; 8.5 million gallons of water; 87.8% water by mass;; Banks, 51K first full month;
