A Random Note On Numbering Of Wells In The Bakken -- April 21, 2023

Locator: 44451B. 

From today's NDIC daily activity report:

The circled "172" and "173" are the "chronologic" numbers for these wells.

We talked about these "chronologic" numbers a decade ago when I first started blogging about the Bakken. Chronologic numbers are assigned to single family of wells, the section in which the wells are sited, the drilling unit, or some such limited geographic area. To the best of my knowledge, they do not apply to an entire oil field.

Let that sink in.
