Interim Report On An Old WPX Thompson Well; Waiting To See If This Well Would Be Brought Back Into Production -- January 2, 2021

I think folks with much more information than I have can see what's going on in the Bakken. Here's another example. 

The well:

• 18111, 776, Petro-Hunt, Thompson 8D-4-4H, Charlson, t5/11; cum 621K11/20; appears to be coming back into production after being taken off line for 6.5 months;

History;

• September 29, 2020: 18111, Thompson wells, Petro-Hunt; huge jump; 462K 9/18; huge well, off line in 2020; will be interesting to see what it does if it comes back on line;

Interim Update Of An Old WPX Well In Squaw Creek -- A 10-Fold Jump In Production -- January 2, 2021

Note the ten-fold jump in production. Again, another example of the Bakken potential and all the work yet to be done. Note this well was drilled in 2012 and by 5/20, it's production had dropped to 800 bbls/month. Then, a 10-fold jump in production, to 7,400 bbls over 25 days in 10/20. Under Hubbert's peak theory this is not supposed to happen.

The well:

• 21217, 686, WPX, Linseth 13-12HW, Squaw Creek, t9/12; cum 150K 11/20;

History:

• October 29, 2020: #21217, four wells will be fracked on either side of this well; a WPX, inside the reservations;

Recent production:

An Old Slawson Hunter Well Updated -- January 2, 2021

An example of the Bakken potential and how much work there is yet to be done. See full production profile linked below. 

The well:

• 18575, 1,007, Slawson, Hunter 1-8-17H, Big Bend, t6/11; cum 628K 11/20; full production profile posted here;

History:

May 22, 2016: Slawson takes a huge Big Bend well off-line, #18575. Back on-line 5/16 but still needs more follow-up. January 5, 2016: this big well went off-line 11/15:

• 18575, 1,007, Slawson, Hunter 1-8-17H, Big Bend, t6/11; cum570K 3/19; off-line all of 11/15; only one day production 1/16; only one day production 2/16; IA as of 3/16; back on line as of 6/16; update here. Check a few more months and then remove from this page (look at the halo effect on one of the Hunter wells, #18575). Back on line 6/16 and turns out to be a great well.

An Abandoned Whiting Well Returns To Active List -- January 2, 2021

Well, this is interesting. This well had been on the AB list, but now shows back up as A:

• 20589, A/AB/IA/4,815, Whiting, Tarpon Federal 21-4H, said to have a 7,000 boepd IP; record middle Bakken (as of Feb, 2012); Twin Valley, 30 stages; 2 million lbs sand/mesh ; s8/11; t10/11; cum 631K 7/19; needs to be re-fracked; off line as of 7/19; finally returned to production, 11/20 with one day of production; whoo-hoo! Nothing in the sundry forms to indicate what's going on. See full production profile here.

The Movie Page

Lawrence of Arabia, on TCM. Wow, what a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Perhaps the best movie, of this genre, ever -- although Patton certainly competes well. There are so many incredible "scenes." Most amazing to watch: when Sir Lawrence changes from a moral man to an amoral man to a crazed man about halfway through the movie, I suppose. Amorality, of course, is relative in this movie.
