I wonder if analysts are starting to get a better understanding of the Bakken now that we are (2023 - 2000) twenty-three years into the play?

This well was first drilled in mid-2013 and was a mediocre well at first, with an IP-30 of around 26K bbls crude oil, which quickly tapered to 2,000 bbls/30 days one year later. Further decline -- the dreaded Bakken decline -- and it was down to less than a 1,000 bbls / month by early 2018. By early 2022, it looked like a dying well.

It was taken off line 4/22 and then brought back on line 8/22 and had peak production of 10,000 bbls/month (see below). From my perspective, this is a new well ... and already ten years old.

August 27, 3022: 24561 (back on line), 24356 (AB), 24615 (552K), 24357 (back on line).
