Bakken's third act: an encore from the non-core
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Bakken players high-graded activity during the downturn, focusing on the low break-even core of the play. Increased drilling and more aggressive completions led to record-setting production in 2018. But that's only part of the Bakken rebound story. Valuable step-out opportunities are emerging, driven by higher oil prices and modern completions. In this insight we investigate the subsurface drivers, completion design changes, and the operators drilling non-core tests.
