The Bakken Never Ceases To Amaze Me -- Updating WPX Wells In Van Hook -- January 14, 2024

Locator: 46537B.

From a post back in 2011, more than a decade ago:

Dakota-3 is using slightly different nomenclature in naming their wells; these three will be on the same pad:

• 22071, LOC-->conf-->drl (1/13) -- TATD-->15 (sic), WPX/Dakota-3, State of ND 10-3HY, Van Hook; t7/17; cum 212K 11/23;
  
• 22072, 1,664, WPX/Dakota-3, State of ND 10-3HC, Van Hook, t5/13; cum 349K 3/17; cum 523K 11/23; 
  
• 22073, 1,227, WPX/Dakota-3, State of ND 10-3HZ, Van Hook, t5/13; cum 290K 3/17; cum 444K 11/23;

Any history in that area? Yup:

• 18735, 1,936, Dakota-3, State of ND 10-3H, Van Hook, Bakken, s12/10; t4/11; cum 502K 3/17; 126K bbls in less than seven months; 25 stages; 282K pounds of sand; cum 666K 11/23;
  

Now fast forward to January 14, 2024: let's look how they're doing.
