See this post regarding the three new CLR Bud / Alfsvaag wells southeast of Williston (link here).
FIU: federal interests underneath. It means that in addition to private owners, and perhaps state interests, the federal government also has interests.
These are incredibly good wells.
In the Bakken, production is at its highest in the first couple of months and then drops off quickly and than plateaus for two or three years before dropping off again.
In the good part of the Bakken around Williston, production in the first full month max production:
- 10,000 to 12,000 bbls of oil per month: a very, very disappointing well; not common but not rare, either.
- 12,000 to 16,000: better, but not that much better;
- 16,000 to 24,000: commonly seen; and pretty good wells;
- 24,000 to 30,000: very nice wells; not common;
- 30,000 to 40,000: very, very nice wells; seldom;
- 40,000 to 50,000: incredible
- over 50,000: amazing, rare.
So, what was maximum production for these three wells:
- #41023, Bud: 60,000 bbls; 59,000 bbls
- #41013, Alfsvaag: 48,000 bbls; 48,000 bbls
- #41019, Bud: 52,000 bbls; 42,000 bbls
How do these numbers compare with the Anna wells, highest production:
- #32967: Anna 7, 19,000 bbls / month; a relatively good well but not all that great in the big scheme of things.
- #32966: Anna 6, 16,000, a lousy well;
- #30155: Anna 3, 25,000, but a lousy well;
- #30154: Anna 2, 27,000; again, dropped quickly;
- #32969: Anna 9, 16,000; lousy well; now abandoned;
- #30156: Anna 4, 15,000 and dropped off quickly to the teens and less;
- #32968: Anna 8, 16,000 and dropped off quickly to the teens and less;
- #23279: Anna 1, 15,000 and dropped off quickly to the teens and less;
- #30157: Anna 5, 26,000 and dropped quickly to the teens;
We always thought the Anna wells were "good" wells but they were not that great in the big scheme of things.
The Bud / Alfsvaag wells are incredible, producing upwards of 60,000 bbls of oil per month for the first two months.
