Four (4) New Permits -- Update on EOG Spearfish Wells in Bottineau County -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Daily activity report, July 29, 2011 --

Operators: Slawson, Crescent Point Energy, Hunt Oil, and MBI Oil and Gas

Fields: Gooseneck, Ross, and two wildcats.

I had not heard of MBI before; they do have a small presence in North Dakota, but this is their permit in quite some time.

Slawson and MBI have the two wildcats, one in McKenzie and one in Stark.


EOG / Spearfish Formation / Bottineau County
Fueling more rumors that EOG has thrown in the towel with regard to the Spearfish, the daily activity report listed six EOG permits in Bottineau County that were believed to target the Spearfish. In addition, six additional EOG wells changed operator from EOG to Surge Energy.

  1. Bruce---Iam waiting for Legacy oil and gas to report oil production results from the Spearfish wells drilled in Bottineau County a few months ago? Do you have any information? Thank you.

  2. No, I have not heard. I am also very curious to see how they did (or are doing).

  3. Legacy had a meet with North Central Electric Co. to get more power lines in the Souris area in July. They have also contacted a gravel co. in Arizona to build up 97 miles of road in the Souris area. I've heard that the Fett, Berge and Emery well are doing well. They have shut down the Bliss well because they drilled to deep. The activity is to start in 2012.
