The Bakken. Where Do We Start? So Many Incredible Wells. Let's Start Here -- A Not Atypical Slawson Well -- January 29, 2022

The well:

  • 23536, 2,315, Slawson, Gabriel 2-36-25H, North Tobacco Garden, t12/12; cum 347K 11/21;

Full production here

A mediocre well when it was drilled a decade ago. A decade ago, using old completion strategies, with the dreaded Bakken decline:

BAKKEN1-2013312190522504666731000
BAKKEN12-201299076759874339000


... and then it plateaued to around the 1500 - 2000 bbls/month production level ---

Then, in early 2019:

BAKKEN11-201930363536412269869981640

BAKKEN4-2019301007910047679418325153651734


So, ten years old, and lots of room to run. It's just beginning.

Someday they're going to say, "we under-estimated the Bakken."
