16424 -- A Monster Well Keeps Getting Better -- November 24, 2021

The well:

• 16424, 700, Petro-Hunt, USA 11B-2-2H, Charlson, t7/07; cum 673K 4/20; off line 5/20; remains off line 12/20; two days in 7/20; significant decline beginning 4/20; ccum 784K 9/21; see this post;

Last time we looked at this well, this was the recent production:

We are used to seeing Bakken wells with a jump in production after coming back on line, but then declining quickly. We don't often see this. This fourteen-year-old well has produced an incredibly 110,000 bbls in the last six months:

Pool	Date	Days	BBLS Oil	Runs	BBLS Water	MCF Prod	MCF Sold	Vent/Flare
BAKKEN	9-2021	30	22350	22367	11434	34031	20144	8703
BAKKEN	8-2021	31	23235	23138	14148	35925	20308	9981
BAKKEN	7-2021	31	25157	25367	17918	40228	18741	15300
BAKKEN	6-2021	30	13371	13188	14062	20318	12757	5327
BAKKEN	5-2021	31	14470	14523	16716	18182	13202	3630
BAKKEN	4-2021	25	11514	11390	19738	17500	7562	9764
BAKKEN	3-2021	1	85	0	2851	313	0	313

But there's more.This well, fourteen years old, is now producing at a rate more than twice what it produced when it was first drilled back in 2007. Whatever happened to the dreaded Bakken decline? LOL.

The Bakken simply never ceases to amaze me.

I've written many times, and have a blog elsewhere devoted to my opinion, that 1969 was the best year ever for rock and roll music, folk music, psychedelic music, pop ,the blues. All of it.

I was reminded of that when I stumbled upon this video tonight and saw the date --- 1969 --- in big letters and then one of the best ever -- if you listen to the music video let it run into the next song -- I think YouTube will take you to the song that put them on the map.
