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.

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:

Waukesha, WI, Is About An Hour North-North-West Of Konesha, WI -- November 21, 2021

Clearing out the in-box:

• best video of the day;
• Asian buyers can't get enough US sweet crude oil;
• LNG tanker rates reach all-time highs on soaring demand;
• the Japanese need to release oil from their SPR; gives cover to Brandon;
• clean energy? LOL. British Columbia is quietly using coal and gas power from out of province; and all of it from the US -- including Washington State, Oregon, Wyoming.
  
• they will need the power to charge their new electric fire engine; LOL;
• GasBuddy: gasoline demand accelerating;
• Big Oil is finally exercising restraint; Brandon is pissed;
• EQT: pricing on secondary stock offering;
• fascinating: EIA gets their data from Natural Gas Intelligence; are you kidding me?
• northeast climate pact implodes; ISO NE linked here.
  

Best thing ever to happen to ND shale: WTI's pullback to $75. Successful companies will remain focused on capital discipline. 

Insanity:

• Colombia presidential front-runner would end new oil exploration.

This supply chain talk is getting tedious:

• the US supply-chain crisis is already easing.

North Dakota:

• AP: North Dakota treasury benefitting from higher oil prices. 

The nation:

• unemployment rates plummeting; Nebraska with lowest unemployment rate.

Commentary:

• gasoline price changes: the dynamic of supply, demand, and competition (will download as a pdf);

Justice:

• I did not know the verdict was unanimous. Check out Konesha, WI.
  

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,
  

Three well pad:

• 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; 

• 14976, AB/662, NP Resources, 20002 JV-P Agate 1, a BIRDBEAR well, half-section spacing; Bicentennial, t7/20; cum 833K 8/17; 

• 15091, 154, NP Resources, 20002 JV-P Agate 2, a RED RIVER well, half-section spacing; Bicentennial, t7/01; cum 200K 9/21;
  

• 15428, 102 (Birdbear)/ 52 (Red River), NP Resources, 9210 JV-P Barkland 1, Beaver Creek, t4/04 (Birdbear)/t9/03 (Red River); cum 80K 9/21 (Birdbear); cum 38K 9/21 (Red River)
