Mike Filloon On EOG In The Bakken -- January 4, 2016

Mike Filloon on EOG in the Bakken (archived): an EOG well pad has produced revenue in excess of $200 million in 2.5 years. It should be noted that Mike titles these updates as "Bakken updates," but in this case, the pad that produced revenue in excess of $200 million is located in the Eagle Ford in Texas. However, most of this particular article is on the Bakken in North Dakota. Also, note: this article was originally written by Mike Filloon back in June 29, 2015. This was probably on the premium Seeking Alpha (pay/subscription) site, and it appears it was moved to the non-pay Seeking Alpha site for some reason. This was not made particularly obvious by Seeking Alpha or Mike Filloon, which is somewhat disturbing):

Summary:
  • EOG Resources' sand-heavy frac design may have revolutionized unconventional production.
  • EOG's early well results in Gonzales County have had huge success, leading to its uses in the Bakken and Permian
  • This design is being copied by other operators with good results, although EOG continues to significantly outpace the competition
  • EOG's sand heavy Parshall Field fracs have produced some of the best wells to date in the Bakken
  • The large volumes of sand/foot seems to show significantly better source rock stimulation. The greater the void, the more proppant needed to fill it
Other data points:
  • Over the first five months, Parshall 37-0806H produced 146,755 bbls of oil and 69,483 Mcf. Using $60/bbl oil and $3/Mcf, revenues were $9,013,749. Current well costs are $8 million, but this number will decrease to just $7.4 million by year end. Payback occurred at approximately four months. It was drilled on a three-well pad, making the result more impressive.
  • Production numbers of two Wayzetta wells are more interesting. The more complex well style produced 426,391 bbls/oil in 28 months. The less complex design only produced 279,336 bbls/oil over the same time frame. Data shows the importance of well design. EOG continues to stimulate the source rock better. Keep in mind there are differing results, and it is difficult to determine exactly what variable improves production. In general, we can identify improvements. It is also important how many wells have already been drilled from a pad, as resource is shared among wells in close vicinity. This strengthens the result from Parshall given it was drilled with an additional well on the pad.
A Bakken pad that produced revenues of $20 million in less than a year is the Burke 46/45/66-3130H:
  • This pad is just north of Parshall field. It produced 323,180 bbls of oil and 178440 Mcf in 10 months. This produced revenues of $19,926,120. The total cost of this pad was roughly $24 million. Modeling these wells forward, it still reaches payback in an estimated 14 months. This is still an acceptable time frame, especially when we consider today's oil prices. All three wells saw a different well design. Burke 66-3130H had the most complexity. It used 43 stages and 12.9 million pounds of sand. 288000 bbls of frac fluids were used. Burke 46-3130H was a 38 stage frac. It used 11.3 million lbs. of sand and 248000 bbls. of frac fluids. Burke 45-3130H was a little shorter. It was a 32 stage frac and used 9.7 million pounds of sand. 202000 bbls of frac fluids were used. EOG continues to use a progressive frac design, even in non-core acreage.

Data For Twenty (20) Wells Coming Off Confidential List Should Be Reported Monday -- January 3, 2016

As a reminder, twenty (20) wells came off the confidential list over this long weekend and tomorrow, Monday. The wells coming off the confidential list are posted here and have been updated. Newfield, CLR, Halcon, and Whiting all reported some nice wells. Of the 20 new wells, there are seven (7) more DUCs.

Will We See Less Than 55 Active Rigs In North Dakota By The End Of The Week? -- January 3, 2016

I assume the number of active rigs  over the long weekend remained stable mostly due to administrative reasons -- whether anyone was at work in the various offices (oil companies and NDIC) to update the number of active rigs. The number has held steady at 60 through the long weekend.

The big question: will we go below 55 active rigs by the end of the first week in January, less than 55 rigs by COB January 8, 2016? Poll at the sidebar at the right.

Russia Sets Record, But Annual Crude Oil Production Barely Budges

Back on October 13, 2015, this tweet:
Tweeting now: IEA report says Russia's oil output at 'record high' in first eight months of 2015, up 8.9% on year, on drilling development boom. 
Now, a more complete story from AFP:
Russia pumped a record 534 million tonnes of crude oil in 2015 even as it reeled from a fall in oil prices caused by a supply glut.
The country's oil and gas condensate production last year increased 1.4 percent year-on-year, with output reaching 10.73 million barrels per day, a post-Soviet record.
But the recent renewed slump in oil prices -- with Brent crude falling to an 11-year low last month -- casts a shadow on the prospect of economic recovery.
Russia may be setting records but overall production has been essentially flat since at least 2007 (that's as far back as this graph goes), but if numbers hold, that 10.73 brings the dashed line (Russia) up quite a bit:
