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.

Cabernet Field Updated -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Someone asked if I might update Cabernet oil field.

I updated the field; all IPs and cumulatives have been updated on the Cabernet oil field page.

Here are some very, very good wells from the Cabernet field. The "number" in bold (e.g., 198K, is the cumulative total of oil produced so far. I consider any well getting to 100k within a year to be a very good well.
