"Figure 02: The colored bands show total production [production profile for the ""2011 average/reference"" well multiplied by the net number of producing  wells added during the month] added by month and its projected development (lh scale). The white circles show net added producing wells by month (rh scale). The thick black line reported production from Bakken (North Dakota) by NDIC (lh scale). The chart also shows forecast developments for total oil production with respectively 1,500 (red dotted line) and 1,800 (light green dotted line) reference wells added annually through 2013 and 2014.  The model was calibrated to start simulations as from January 2010.  NOTE: The chart shows the models forecast towards 2025 from the population of producing wells as of October 2013. Producing wells will continue to be added, thus actual future production will be higher."
