With so few new wells being drilled and not many DUCs being completed, folks have wondered how North Dakota has maintained its production.
In addition, with high costs (due to inflation, supply chain issues) how are Bakken operators saving money / cutting expenses?
These have all been identified as "monster wells" in the Bakken. They were all taken off line back in 2021 or thereabouts and all of them were returned to production in June, 2022, or thereabouts.
