A Closer Look At The Nikolai Federal Well Just Reported By Oasis -- #35483 -- November 29, 2021

The Oasis Nikolai Federal wells are tracked here.

The parent well, because these wells are still confidential, not sure which way they run, but it appears they run to the north ((?). If so, the one well in that drilling unit is #20266. Again, this is all conjecture. The nearest wells are one mile to the west, Equinor wells, and there are subtle hints there, but I can't say anything for sure.

• 20266, 777, Oasis, Wold Federal 15-33H, Banks, t3/12; cum 169K 9/21: was off line during the exact two months that the Nikolai Federal well (#35483) was off line. Note the huge jump in production, from around 750 bbls/month to 5,500 bbls/month, a 7x increase:
