The Bakken Never Ceases To Amaze Me -- February 5, 2023

Before I get started: there's a reason Harold Hamm does things the way he does. This is not random; this is not luck; and it's not cherry-picking. And "the theory" says this is not supposed to happen. 

A reader suggested I take a look at #38499.

My reply: 

Thank you so much.

I most recently touched on this well last December -- just two months ago -- that's how fast things move in the Bakken:

and also noted in 2018 that CLR was re-fracking some of these wells:

Here's the update.
