Bruce provides us with some counterprogramming. Its data like these that stand opposed to all the outputs from sources whose foundations have not even caught up with the concepts of particulate oil. Oakdale Field Is Updated; One Well Less Than Two Years Old Closing In On A Million Barrels

I wonder what the naysayers who comment over at CarpeDiem would have to say about these oil wells in the Bakken.

Note: these wells are but two or three years old and they will produce for 39 years.

This is the Oakdale oil field, Dunn County, just west of BR's huge Corral Creek field.

This is the field in which CLR is testing the LOWER benches of the Three Forks, but, of course, a whole lot more than just testing the lower benches is going on.

Look at this well -- still flowing on its own, no pump, 4-section spacing; at present rate, could hit 1 million bbls sometime in the next 9 months (in less than 3 years from spud):
  • 20210, 803, CLR, Whitman 2-34H, Oakdale, Bakken, t9/11; F; cum 783K 6/13; 24 stages; 2.4 million lbs sand/ceramic; middle Bakken; gas shows very, very high (of course);

And then this well (but just the last few months, so the post doesn't get unwieldy long):
  • 18275, single well, 1,020, CLR, Hawkinson 1-22H, t2/10; UPPER Three Forks, cum 505K 6/13; producing at 9K/month; yeah, huge decline rate. LOL; still flowing on its own; no pump; cased hole; 1.9 million lbs sand/ceramic; trip gas huge (of course)

Notice how much flaring was done this past month. That tells you one thing: the system lacks capacity with all the other wells coming on line. The state needs more than just more pipelines; it needs gas gathering and processing plants. ONEOK.
