Bakken Wells Producing & BBLs Per Well
Note the steep increase beginning in late 2004 and continuing today.
Are the BBLs per well calculated by dividing total annual production by total wells? Given the rapid decline rates on the wells, such an average metric could be misleading. What would be really interesting is to see the trend in average well production in the first 6 months or year from initial production. This would illustrate the balance between improvements in drilling & completion technology balanced by drilling more marginal prospects.
