The Enerplus "wild flower" wells have been updated. The newer ones have been completed; all the rest are back on line. The wells are tracked here.

Some Mom-And-Pop Mineral Owners Will Be Happy With This News -- November 21, 2021

The Enerplus "wild kingdom" wells are tracked here. This page won't be updated.

The Whiting Wold Federal Wells Are Updated -- November 21, 2021

Link here.

Some of these are huge wells. Most of the new wells have just come back on line after been completed.

When one sees these wells one understands that "conventional" metrics fail to adequately "explain" the Bakken, and why I remain inappropriately exuberant about the Bakken.

MRO Reporting Monster Wolf-Fox Wells In Moccasin Creek -- November 21, 2021

This page will not be updated. These wells are tracked elsewhere. The newest wells in this area still being reported as DUCs but are huge wells. Older wells on the pad(s) are still off line.

Examples of newest wells now producing:

This Is A Big One For Some Mom-And-Pop Slawson Stallion / Zephyhr Mineral Owners -- November 21, 2021

This page will not be updated; these wells are tracked here.

It appears the newest wells on these pads have just been completed and the older wells have come back on line. 

  • For example, this older well has just come back on line:20204, 743, Slawson, Zephyr 2-36H, Big Bend, t1/12; cum 227K 9/18; cum 272K 9/21; has just come back on line, 9/21;

It's too early to tell whether there is/was a “genuine” halo effect, but look at initial production after coming back on line. This well was producing 2,000 bbls before it went off line; when it came back on line [(10502/21)*30], produced at rate of 15,000 bbls per thirty days. 30,000/2,000 = 15X increase in production after coming back on line, and it was off line for only two months:

To Follow Up -- Recompletion -- Billings County -- Foundation Energy Management -- November 21, 2021

Foundation Energy Management has been active in North Dakota since 1990. Link here.

Because of "the way" information is updated over at NDIC it's unlikely we will ever hear about the results of these wells, if in fact, they are re-completed. I will put them on my list of "things to follow up."

From the December, 2021, NDIC hearing dockets. These are cases, not permits.

  • 29119, Foundation Energy Management, LLC, Bicentennial-Bakken, to authorize the recompletion and production of one vertical well in a 160-acre unit, SE/4 section 28-144-103; Golden Valley; most likely #14976, or #15091;
  • 29120, Foundatin Energy Management, LLC, Beaver Creek-Bakken, recompletion and production of one existing vertical well in a 160-acre spacing unit SE4 section 1-142-103, Golden Valley; most likely, #15428;
  • 29121, Foundation Energy Management, LLC, Beaver Creek-Bakken, recompletion and production of one existing vertical well in a 160-acre spacing unit NW4 section 6-142-102, Billings County; most likely #11698 or #14953.

By the way, there's a bit of activity in this immediate area. Some wells on confidential list in this area. These three pads are all within a couple of miles of each other, all in Beaver Creek oil field3: 

Three well pad:

  • 30661, conf, NP Resources, 9210 Beaver Creek 631-3H, Beaver Creek,
  • 30662, conf, NP Resources, 9210 Beaver Creek 631-1H, Beaver Creek,
  • 30663, conf, NP Resources, 9210 Beaver Creek 631-2H, Beaver Creek,

  • 30794, conf, NP Resources, 9210 Barkland 112-2H, Beaver Creek,
  • 30793, conf, NP Resources, 9210 Barkland 112-1H, Beaver Creek,
  • 30792, conf, NP Resources, 9210 Barkland 112-3H, Beaver Creek,

Three well pad:

  • 33214, conf, NP Resources, 20901 Audrey 3526 3H, Beaver Creek,
  • 33213, conf, NP Resources, 20901 Audrey 3526 1H, Beaver Creek,
  • 33867, loc, NP Resources, 20901 Audrey 3526 2H, Beaver Creek, 

I don't know if there is any significance to fact that eight of these nine wells were permitted well before the ninth one, but possibly there may be some significance.

Three of these wells look to be re-completed.

Note that these are all half-section spacing (320 acres) and a couple of them are monster wells:

  • cum: 558K
  • cum 525 K
  • cum 833K
  • cum 200K

The wells:

  • 11698, 502, NP Resources, 9201 JV-P Federal DM 1, a RED RIVER well, half-section spacing; Beaver Creek, t1/86; cum 558K 9/21;
  • 14953, AB/725, NP Resources, Federal Dm 9210 JV-P 2, a BIRDBEAR well, half-section spacing; Beaver Creek, t2/20; cum 525K 7/18;

Updating A Few Wells That Came Off Confidential List 4Q20 But Reported No Data -- November 21, 2021

Periodically I will update DUCs that have since reported. They are all updated elsewhere, but these are a few of interest for today. 

The wells and the date they came off confidential list, but no report at the time (generally, DUCs, but not necessarily):
