Lodgepole Reef Update -- A 27X Jump In Production -- August 7, 2021

Locator: 10010LODGEPOLEREEF.

Hubbert said his "peak oil" theory applied globally, nationally, regionally, by basin, by field, and all the way down to the individual well. Once a well reached peak production, there would be a steady decline. We've talked about this before. 

A reader brought this well (see below) to my attention.

Readers unfamiliar with Lodgepole reef wells should take a look at this note, posted back on October 25, 2009, and occasionally updated. 

This is a real hoot. A reader alerted me to this well and neither of us can explain "why."

I only have the file report to review, and there's nothing there. He is on the ground, can see activity on the well, knows much more about this than I do, and the reader, too, cannot explain this.

There has been no workover of which the reader is aware and no evidence of any (positive) interference by any neighboring well. It is obviously not a typo. 

The well:

• 13514, 520, Scout Energy Management, LLC, Dickinson-Lodgepole Unit 75, Dickinson field, t9/93; cum 4.125976 million bbls of crude oil; cum 4.251894 million bbls 8/24;; target: the Lodgepole pool (the Three Forks pool was dry); full production at this post; note recent production. Note that natural gas production has increased lock-step with crude oil production, although not to the same extent:
