Artificial Lift In The Bakken -- A Most Under-Reported Story In The Shale Revolution; SHD With Five New Permits Inside The Reservation -- January 29, 2021

See this post and look at #17911. From a reader who follows this much more closely than I do: 

Well #17911 is using a consistent 5,000 cubic feet of gas per day [difference between produced /flared and sold]. That data point launched me - again - in trying to get a current perspective on gas lift practices in the Bakken. Tough slogging, but I believe the Artificial Lift 'story' is one of the more under reported developments in this Shale Revolution.

• these wells are confidential so it's hard to say which way the horizontals will run; the names of the wells are not helpful; based on their siting, on a pad north-to-south, it's most likely the horizontals run west-to-east, ending up under the river; it's possible they could also run to the southwest;
  

Two permits renewed:

• Slawson: two Armada Federal permits in Mountrail County
