The Bakken Never Ceases To Amaze Me; Slawson's Newer Submariner Wells Are Starting To Report -- Huge Wells -- August 4, 2019

I was bored tonight, waiting for the British comedies to come on around midnight. I had spent the evening biking and now I was home. I noted that the NDIC has posted 6/19 production data so I was simply checking around.

Completely random, running out of wells to check, so I thought, "hey, why not look at the Slawson Submariner Federal wells?"

First one I checked:

• 19368, 115, Slawson, Submariner Federal 1-23-24H, Van Hook, t8/11; cum 429K 5/19; nice jump in production; 

As you can see I noted a "nice jump in production in 5/19."

So, what is it doing now? Glad you asked. Here is the current production profile updated:

Pool	Date	Days	BBLS Oil	Runs	BBLS Water	MCF Prod	MCF Sold	Vent/Flare
BAKKEN	6-2019	30	12949	12445	17946	8846	0	7292

BAKKEN	6-2018	30	2237	2086	867	1724	793	542

That represents a 6-fold jump in production from 6/18, one year ago. 

These are turning out to be huge wells. They are tracked here; one well produced in excess of 50K in one month, and several others are similarly exciting.

So, now, the well with production updated:

• 19368, 115, Slawson, Submariner Federal 1-23-24H, Van Hook, t8/11; cum 443K 6/19; nice jump in production in 5/19; and then again in 6/19;

Several QEP Wells Coming Off Line -- Not Sure Why -- August 4, 2019

Several QEP wells in 15-150-95 have just come off line. I didn't check all of them but the following all came off line at the end of May, 2019, suggesting activity in the area to begin, but I could not find where that activity might be. The wells that have just come off line:

• 16960, 768, QEP, Jones 4-23H, Blue Buttes, t4/08; cum 176K 5/19; off line as of 6/19;
• 16652, n/d, QEP, Levang 3-22H, Blue Buttes, t9/07; cum 271K 5/19; off line as of 6/19;
• 20591, 2,656, QEP, Jones 4-15/22H, Blue Buttes, t4/12; cum 624K 5/19; off line as of 6/19;
• 29329, 2,291, QEP, Jones 15-22-16-21LL, Grail, t10/15; cum 502K 5/19; off line as of 6/19;
• 29326, 904, QEP, Jones 3-15-22BH, Grail, t10/15; cum 273K 5/19; off line as of 6/19;

The QEP Jones wells are tracked here and were coincidentally updated last month.

Blue Buttes activity involving the following wells might be the reason, but these wells seem a bit far away to affect the wells above:

• 35260, conf, Hess, BB-Olson-150-95-09H-7,
• 35259, rig on site (ros) Hess, BB-Olson-150-95-09H-8,
• 35258, conf Hess, BB-Olson-150-95-09H-9,
• 35257, conf, Hess, BB-Olson-150-95-09H-10,
• 35256, conf Hess, BB-Olson-150-95-09H-11,
• 35255, conf Hess, BB-Olson-150-95-09H-1,

Two Nice EOG Wells Off Line Suggesting Activity To Occur -- Clarks Creek -- August 4, 2019

The EOG Hawkeye wells in Clarks Creek are tracked at this post but it has not been updated in a long time and a lot has changed. I have to get this back in order some day.

On another note I thought I had mentioned this before but possibly not, unless it was on my "wells of interest" blog. Whatever.

But it appears EOG is getting ready to frack some wells, or maybe they already have, because two nice wells have just come off line. The wells:

• 22487, 67 (no typo), EOG, Hawkeye 02-2501H, Clarks Creek, t12/13; cum 846K 5/19; went offline 6/19; 3-section spacing; 1,741 acres in the spacing unit; sister well to the well announced earlier with 200,000 bbls in less than 5 months; another 15,000-ft horizontal; trip gas over 4,000 units; cum 959K 8/23;
  
• 22486, IA/2,421, EOG, Hawkeye 100-2501H, Clarks Creek (see stand-alone post); 3-section spacing (1,920 acres); will this be a long lateral (9,000 feet) or a much-talked-about-seldom-seen-super-long lateral (14,000 feet)? I'm betting the latter. If accurate, a huge "thank you" to a reader. This well is NORTHEAST of Watford City. [Turned out to be 25,101 feet long. Yes, a super-long lateral, almost 3 sections long.] Did Lynn Helms misspeak or was he misquoted in The Bismarck Tribune when he said there was a gusher NORTHWEST of Watford City? If there is still another gusher NORTHWEST of Watford City that is better than this well, we are talking some big wells in the Bakken, Three Forks; 47 stages; 14 million lbs of sand, 1920-acre spacing unit; t9/12; cum 781K 4/19; off line as of 4/19; back on line, cum 854K 8/23;
  

The three neighboring wells of interest, all on conf list:

• 32488, API: 33-053-07490; -->? PNC
  
• 32489, API: 33-053-07491; -->? PNC
• 32490, API: 33-053-07492; -->? PNC

Let's see what FracFocus has to say: no frack data for any of the three wells;

Pop Quiz -- Produced Water To Oil Ratio (PWOR) -- August 4, 2019

Question: conventional wells or unconventional wells -- which have a higher ratio of produced water, conventional wells or unconventional wells? What is the ratio of produced water-to-oil in conventional wells compared to that of unconventional wells? [PWOR = produced water-to-oil water.]

The answer will be posted later.

This would be so cool to see at the new Williston airport. Obviously if not enough dedicated terminals, one or two terminals (or as many as needed) could be designated for "Oil Workers."
