Closer Look At New Well Reported By Hess -- November 11, 2020

For newbies: in the good old days, early in the boom, a Bakken well that produced 100,000 bbls in two years with a EUR of 300,000 bbls and drilled over 60 days was considered a good well. 

The well:

  • 365091, loc/A, Hess, SC-5WX-152-99-0310H-5, API: 33-053-09077; Banks, SC-5WX wells are tracked here; t--; cum 118K 9/20; 118K over four months; production:

From the well file:
  • frack data not yet posted at the NDIC website;
  • spud: February 9, 2020
  • cease drilling February 18, 2020
  • middle Bakken; TD = 22,610' MD
  • logging services began February 12, 2020, at 7:12 a.m. CT
  • vertical: drilled in two runs, with a planned bit trip at 8,741' MD
  • curve: began on February 13 at 5:40 a.m.; completed on February 13 at 8:45 a.m. If I am reading that correctly, they completed the curve in three hours; generally, I've seen curve completions taking slightly less than 12 hours (as the standard):
  • lateral:
    • began on February 15, 7:52 a.m.
    • 15' target centered 22.5' below the top of the middle Bakken
    • total gas ranged from 17 to 2,519 units
    • ceased at a depth of 22,610' MD on February 18, 2020, at 11:03 p.m. If I'm reading this correctly, they drilled the lateral in 3.5 days; generally I've seen laterals completed in six days (as the standard);
So, a day to drill the vertical; less than six hours to drill the curve; and less than four days to drill the lateral.

FracFocus:
  • 4/6/20 - 4/19/20
  • small to moderate frack: 6.6 million gallons of water
  • water: 87.3% water by mass; on the low side but within "usual" parameters;
