The Amazing Bakken -- It's All About TOC -- Technology Will Catch Up -- January 26, 2023

Re-posting.

Recent production below. Full production at this post.

Note: this well drilled in 2008, thirteen years ago. It was a lousy well. And then it's production jumped about a year ago.

This well, thirteen years old, will produce 50% of its oil production in six months in its thirteen year.

Look at initial production -- at the very bottom of this post.

This is not a one-off. One can find them everywhere.

This well was first drilled in 2008. 

Total production for this well:

• 302,036 bbls crude oil;
• it was first drilled back in 2008, fifteen years ago;
• and, in five months in the past year or so, this well has produced: 130,675 bbls
• 130,675 / 302,036 = 43%
