Perhaps A Reader Might Know More About These Wells -- Update On Continental Resources Brakken Wells In Catwalk -- July 3, 2026

Locator: 51107BRAKKEN.

This regards the four CLR Brakken wells in Catwalk, #40056 - #40059, inclusive.

There has been no change in their status since March, 2026, when they came off the confidential list. 

The NDIC GIS map and the scout tickets / production history show these four wells on DRL status and no production data. 

They were apparently drilled to depth last autumn, 2025, and put on the confidential list at that time. They were  taken off the confidential list in March, 2026. However, no production from any of these four wells has been reported. 

Generally speaking, this suggests to me these wells are waiting to completed (fracked), or recently fracked, and production data not yet reported.

When one sees that -- or thinks that -- the next thing to do is check neighboring wells. The best well to check is the original Brakken well, #19008:

  • 19008, 2,804, Devon Energy, Brakken 30-31 1-H, Catwalk, t12/10; cum 314K 1/25. This well was taken off line January, 2025, based on data below and remains offline. This suggests that there is activity in the area and the well remains off line. Activity in the area suggest current or recent fracking.  

Someone in the field may know what's going on, but it appears the wells are soon to be fracked or, if already fracked, we're waiting for the initial production numbers to be reported.
