The Bakken Never Ceases To Amaze Me -- October 29, 2021

This well was drilled back in 2009. From the very beginning it was a lousy well, but it was kept on line. Now, the Manitou oil field is surprisingly good. Amazing. Hess has cracked the code. This well will not produce on a monthly basis, in 2021 and 2022, more oil than it produced monthly in its first six months of production.

The well:

• 17877, 165, Hess, EN-Joyce-156-94-1720H-1, Manitou, t6/09; cum 95K 8/21; off line 8/21; remains off line 9/21;

The well is now off line while neighboring wells were fracked. It's always possible with such great neighboring wells, this well will be permanently shut in. One never knows. But whatever happens this well did what it needed to do. It served its purpose.
