Updates
January 28, 2025: production updated and four wells added.
Previous Update: November 2023
Note: the original post had to do with the "first" 12 Kannianen wells; to minimize confusion, I will keep adding Kannianen wells as they are completed.
The subject line for the original post: Whiting's Kannianen Wells in the Sanish -- Exceed 2 Million Bbls -- Twelve Wells -- Oldest Well, Five Years Old
The data is updated from the original post.

It is opined that the average EUR in the Bakken will be ~ 600,000 bbls (at time of original post).
Bakken wells are expected to produce upwards of 35 years.
********************
Earlier this evening, I "hit the wall."
I was overwhelmed by all the data coming in from around the Bakken, all the comments I received after posting the above. The comments were to many other posts, but they all came after I posted the note above.
But something was bothering me.
Whenever I feel uneasy, "out of sorts," I try to figure out what it is. I've learned that by figuring out what is bothering me, I have a better chance of resolving the uneasy feeling. I think it has to do with a comment that came in much earlier today from the individual who was no longer excited by the Bakken. Have "we" become so jaded, so cynical, that "we" can't get excited by wells with IPs of
3,000; with individual spacing units having produced a million bbls of oil in less than three years? Have "we" become so used to staggering numbers that the Bakken no longer excites us? Wow.
Maybe it was that comment, I don't know. Or maybe it was the fact that the FAA grounded a good Samaritan helping young whooping cranes migrate south. You have no idea how much I think about whooping cranes. They are beautiful birds and I have been fortunate enough to see them so many times up close and personal (
Rockport, Texas, birding).
I can't say for sure what it was. But I do know I was overwhelmed; I couldn't keep up with posting and answering the comments. I hate not having time to respond to all those who send in comments. But I've gotten through most of them. And now I'm in a "Yellow River" frame of mind.
Enjoy.
Yellow River, Christie
By the way, the "thing" that pulled me "back up," after "hitting the wall," was "anon 1"'s comment in response to my posting on the ATEX pipeline sent in by another reader.
