OMG! CLR Did It Again -- The Dreaded Bakken Decline -- Another Carus Permit -- June 1, 2020

The dreaded Bakken decline:

• the well was drilled back in 2007;
• in 2019, production jumped from 700 bbls / month to 40,000 bbls/month, a 57-fold jump in production;
• then another jump in production a few months later, from 20,278 bbls over 30 days to 33,200 bbls over 29 days;

We highlighted the Carus family of wells back in November, 2019. They are back in the news with a new CLR Carus permit. The Carus wells are tracked here. At that link, the most recently added permit has been added, #37606. In the immediate area is the actively producing well below:

The well, note the IP:

• 16648, 508, CLR, Carus 13-28H, t8/07; cum 571K 3/20; full production here;
