This well was drilled back in 1958. It finally went off line in December, 2018, although it did produce 58 bbls over four days in June, 2019.
And .... then nothing .... for two years ....

Why?
The last three sundry forms:
- July 16, 2012: authorization to purchase and transport oil from lease (standard, routine sundry form)
- July 29, 2015: a standard, routine spill report; a tank leak; recovered oil: two bbls; contained within dike;
- May 5, 2021: very rare letter from the NDIC regulator alerting CLR that this well has not produced oil or gas in paying quantities in over one year, and therefore the well will be placed in "abandoned-well status which has not produced oil or natural gas in paying quantities for one year."
There is not additional information. My hunch: for whatever reason, CLR did not want to abandon this well. I doubt that it was converted to a horizontal well and thus not fracked. If so, we would need to see a sundry form regarding that.
