Bakken 101: Whole Pads At A Time Now Coming Off The Confidential List -- June 6, 2021

Locator: 44692B.

Many years ago when first talking about the Bakken and the "Eco-Pads" introduced by Harold Hamm, I mentioned that at some point in time instead of seeing a single well in a given drilling unit come off the confidential list at any given time, we would start seeing four wells coming off the confidential list in the same week, and perhaps as many as eight or even more -- all from the same pad. 

This has been going on for quite some time, perhaps the last year or so, but it will soon become the norm for the larger operators in the Bakken like CLR, MRO, and Oasis.

This is a great example. Most of the wells "to the north" are coming off the confidentia list this next week, and noting that the parent well "to the south" has just come off line, it appears those wells "to the south" will start coming off the confidential list within the next few month. Based on the data for the wells "to the north" it looks like one can expect six to seven months from now.
