The XTO Admundson Wells In Siverston Oil Field -- March 3, 2021

This page will not be updated. 

This is a microcosm of the Bakken, and why rigs don't matter (don't take that out of context) and how Hubbert's theory does not apply. 

XTO has two 5-well Admundson pads in Siverston oil field. 

Recently several of the Admundson wells were taken off line for no apparent operational reason except apparently for "managing assets" during a period of very low oil prices. 

Except for one Admundson well, all the Admundson wells have returned to production. No rigs were needed; no fracking was required; XTO simply brought the wells back on line. 

In many cases, production doubled that production just before the well was taken off line. Rig counts did not matter. Frack spreads did not matter. But this was happening across the Bakken, affecting tens of thousands of Bakken wells. 

And it should be noted, we're not seeing many DUCs being reported completed on the daily activity reports.

Here are the Admundson wells; production data has been updated:
