Comments And Observations
See the original post below:
- this was a huge "test" project when first proposed by CLR some years ago;
- the first thing I noted was how much work is left to be done in the Bakken; look at all the "white space" yet to be drilled in this drilling unit;
- in general I was disappointed when the first Wahpeton wells were reported; for the Banks oil field, they are not particularly noteworthy;
- the most recent wells are quite incredible, to say the least;
- the most recent Wahpeton to be reported suggests CLR is using moderate-size fracks;
- technically, these are not "daughter" wells in the strict sense of the word, but one could argue that despite a dozen or so wells already drilled in this drilling unit, the naysayers never would have expected these kinds of wells; and,
- as I said above: lots of white space ... oh, and one more things --
- multiple "formations" yet to be targeted;
Original Post
Yesterday this producing well (DUCs) was reported as completed:
- 35915, SI/A, CLR, Wahpeton 17-16H, Banks, t--; cum 107K in 2.5 months;
- The Wahpeton family of wells: another look at CLR's testing the lower benches of the Three Forks, Banks oil field;
- spud date: June 18, 2019
- TD date: August 6, 2019
- targeting the middle Bakken
- the geologist's narrative in incredibly detailed; for example:
- "the (by now dreaded) possible thinning in the Lodgepole failed to appear. This ended up being the final ideal target point."
- it took three curve assemblies to build the curve;
- Bakken shale collapse issues are of lesser, but still manifest, concern in this area, and angles of intercept and shale exposure footage remain important data
- a single assembly completed the lateral
- drill out on morning of August 4, 2019 -- TD at mid-afternoon on August 6 -- is that about 60 hours to drill the lateral?
- background gas
- background gas initially averaged around 700 - 1000 units
- after 12750' MD, readings climbed to around 2000 - 4000 units
- the target was approximately 18' thick
- frack data not yet scanned in at NDIC
- from FracFocus:
- fracked 12/6/19 - 12/18/19
- 8.4 million gallons of water; relatively moderate frack;
- 87.4% water by mass;
- 35915:

From a Continental Resources exhibit. Sent in by a reader:
The Wahpeton wells are sited in section 16, and run north to south, ending in section 21.
