Frack Data For The Sub-Optimal Enerplus Spider Three Forks Well In Heart Butte -- March 21, 2022

: I would have had this information earlier but my server was slow and I was unable to download the file report. 

Well, this is very, very interesting. It turns out this was a middle Bakken well, NOT a Three Forks well. Although the completion report says it was the Three Forks First Bench formation that was stimulated, in fact it was the middle Bakken based on everything else in the file, including a sundry form in 2019 to change the formation target from the TF1 to the middle Bakken.

The frack volume was said to be 208,000 bbls which x 42 = 8.7 million gallons of water with 43 stages.

FracFocus: data for two fracks, both the same exact time period:

  • 7/18/21 - 7/30/21, a very small frack: 4.1 million gallons of water, 51% produced water by mass; 39% fresh water by mass;
  • 7/18/21 - 7/30/21, a much larger frack: 8.7 million gallons of water, 51% produced water by mass; 39% fresh water by mass;
  • total: 12.8 million gallons of water; overall, a large frack.

File report scanned. Thirteen drilling days. Bakken standard is around eight days. 

NDIC's Lynn Helms and my impression: Three Forks wells are generally as good as or better than middle Bakken wells, so this poor initial production data is unexplained.
