MRO Reports Another Huge Well In Reunion Bay -- May 1, 2020

I mentioned this a month or so ago: it's going to be hard to keep track of wells coming off the confidential list or DUCs that don't report an IP -- see sidebar at the right.

Another example. When this well came off the confidential list, no IP was reported, but it was reported as being on DRL status:

• 34600, drl, MRO, Verne USA 24-21TFH, Reunion Bay, 

We now have production data but no IP; it is still on drl status:

• 34600, drl, MRO, Verne USA 24-21TFH, Reunion Bay, t--; cum 80K in 45 days:

Production, that 45K over 16 days extrapolates to 83,768 bbls in a 30-day month:

The Myth That Daughter Wells Don't Come In As Good As Parent Wells -- EOG Experience In Clarks Creek -- March 8, 2020

These wells have recently come off the confidential list. The scout ticket information is complete but the file reports have not been updated; still confidential. The only frack data we have is that provided by FracFocus.

Graphics pending, but Clarks Creek has been covered frequently and extensively on the blog. The Clarks Creek oil field is tracked here. Years ago I summarized this oil field as such:

Clarks Creek: sweet spot in the Bakken; western boundary of the reservation; "owned" by EOG; will put 22 wells on one 2560-acre spacing unit (April, 2013, dockets)

The wells:

• 36416, 2,859, EOG, Clarks Creek 105-0719H, 33-053-09061, Clarks Creek, fracked, 7/20/19 - 8/22/19; 11.5 million gallons of water; 83% water by mass; hydrotreated distillate, 0.05147;
