Original Post

Stony Creek is one of the smaller fields in the Williston Basin. It is all of 17 sections. It averages three sections wide (E-W) and six sections north to south. It is located northeast of Williston, and one mile west of the small hamlet of Spring Brook, population, 26 (according to Wikipedia).

One can reach the field by driving east of Williston on 1806, about four miles after crossing the Little Muddy Creek/River bridge. Just before seeing a huge oil well on your left (north of State 1806), there is a county road going north. Drive north about three miles and Stony Creek will be on your right. By the way, that "huge well" on State Highway 1806 next to the county road is BEXP's Knoshaug 14-11 1H, which had an IP of 3,761 on 1/30/11 (no pump yet; as of 1/27/11); cumulative through April, 2011: 69,000 bbls of oil. (In the Avoca oil field.)

Zavanna has most of the permits/wells in Stony Creek: there are currently ten (10) wells on the confidential list and one well that is producing: Puma 1-26H, #17453, 225 bopd (IP), section 26, T155N-100W. According to a press release, this is probably why Zavanna is so interested in Stony Brook:

18014, Zavanna, Bobcat 1-25H, 2,303, section 24 (still on confidential list) -- see above

In three sections, Zavanna has placed two wells right next to each other. On the surface, the wells are 210 feet apart.

The wells are located on my "wells to watch" page.
