The Incredible Enerplus "Owl Pad" Wells -- December 20, 2022

These are tracked and updated elsewhere. This page will not be updated.

The most recent "Owl Pad" permit was announced today; that well, #39511, Crested 147-94-13A-24H, is a singleton sited about a half-mile north of the "Owl pad."

This is another great example of daughter wells outperforming the parent wells, something experts / analysts said was not supposed to happen.

It's also another great example of the increasingly close spacing in the Bakken.

The parent wells were drilled in 2013; the next set of daughter wells were drilled in 2016. Two of the daughter wells have now produced 500K bbls crude oil.
