status of wells and production may be updated

I don't know if anything will come of these two wells, but I'm really looking forward to the reports for two new Murex wells; they are scheduled to come off the confidential list this next week. I've followed them for many, many years. The wells on this 3-well pad:

• 36888, drl/A, Murex, Sophia Drake 25-36H-R, Sanish, no data at FracFocus (January 7, 2021);
• 36887, drl/NC, Murex, Amber Renee 25-36H-R, Sanish, no data at FracFocus (January 7, 2021);
• 18408, the original Amber Renee, see below;

The "original" Amber Renee and Sophia Drake wells.

The Amber Renee was one of my favorite wells to watch from the very beginning. It was one of the first to make the "monster well" list.

Amber Renee:

• 18408, TA/1,945,  Amber Renee 25-36H, Sanish; one mile to the west of the Chandler James; t2/10; F ; 822K 8/14 -- 661K in about two years; no pump; still 9K/month 1/13; IA 1/14; still inactive 10/15; the most recent sundry form shows this well is scheduled for a "re-drill"; TA as of 3/16; cum 822K 3/16; no change since 9/18; produced from 2/10 to 12/13, just under four years; full production here;

Sophia Drake:

• 30312, PNC, Mjurex, Sophia Drake 25-36H, Sanish,  

The Sophia Drake is sited in the same section as the incredible Chandler James well:

• 17263, 3,124, Murex, Chandler James 25-36H, Sanish, t10/08; cum 1.161169 million bbls 4/20; still producing about 2,000 bbls crude oil per month

Of interest, the Murex well in the section to the south and running north to parallel the original Amber Renee for a short distance has been off line since 11/19, suggesting something was going on:

• 16839, 864, Murex, Jacob Daniel 25-36H-RE, Sanish, t1/08; cum 521K 11/19;

It is also of interest, but it probably means nothing, but several other Whiting wells to the west, in a completely different drilling unit, running perpendicular to the re-entered Murex wells (Amber Renee/Sophia Drake) and at least 500 feet (?) from the new Murex wells were also taken off line on/about 11/19.
