ROS On Five-Well Petro-Hunt Pad In Charlson Oil Field -- June 22, 2024

Locator: 48025B.

See example of an active Petro-Hunt well in Charlson oil field at this link. 

That's a nice reminder of the Petro-Hunt wells in the Charlson oil field. This is what got me interested: an active rig on this five-well pad in the Charlson oil field:

Random Look At A Petro-Hunt Charlson Oil Field Well -- June 22, 2024

Locator: 48024B.

The Petro-Hunt wells in Charlson oil field are simply incredible. 

Randomly looked at this one, drilled in late 2020, it has already produced 618,000 bbls crude oil -- so, more than 600K bbls in 3.5 years.

Bakken 5.5 --> Bakken 6.0 -- Four-Mile Laterals And Switchbacks -- June 22, 2024

Locator: 48023B.

Lynn Helms mentions two "advances" in drilling in the Bakken in this link:

If we start seeing more 4-mile laterals and switchbacks, we'll move from Bakken 5.5 to Bakken 6.0. 

But for now, we remain in Bakken 5.5.

"Directional Drilling" In The Bakken -- June 22, 2024

Part 2.

For part 1, look at this blog, just posted moments ago. 

I was curious about another BR well in those screenshots, specifically:

• 37935, loc/A, BR, Boxer 3B MBH, Pershing, t4/24; cum 27K in first 30 days. Full production:

Pool	Date	Days	BBLS Oil	Runs	BBLS Water	MCF Prod	MCF Sold	Vent/Flare
BAKKEN	4-2024	30	26889	26565	14014	45935	45802	123

Two screenshots follow.

Now how far BR "directionally" drills the well to the north, before abruptly turning 180 degrees and going due south.

Locator: 48021B.

BR has a couple of active rigs in Pershing oil field:

I was curious -- you can usually spot an old well -- when you see a singleton in an active area ... so I was curious -- what's going on with that singleton in the screenshot below?

Zooming in:

The well of interest is 15 years old and barely getting started based on that jump in production, see below:

• 17371, 695, BR, Parrish 1-31H, Pershing, t2/09; cum 239K 4/24;

The horizontal to the west, just 528 feet from the well of interest is:

• 37933, A/loc, BR, Parrish 4A MBH, Pershing, t4/24; cum 27K in first month of prodution.
  

Production data.

First, the 15-year-old well, recent production.

Note the dates.

It looks like another example of a daughter well going to do a whole better than the parent well, something "experts" say isn't supposed to happen.  

The Bakken never ceases to amaze me.
