Catching Up -- Some Housekeeping -- Chesapeake and Hettinger County, Golden Valley County

This is from an RMOJ story back in July, 2011.

Regarding Chesapeake's foray into Hettinger County, some datapoints (as of the date of the link):
  • Chesapeake seeks approval for a 1280-acre horizontal drilling unit in Hettinger county
  • the unit will target horizontal Three Forks
  • 22 miles SSE of Dickinson, ND
  • sections 5/8-135-96
  • first horizontal drilling in Hettinger County
  • it is also the most southerly exploration of the Three Forks formation in the Williston Basin
  • estimated oil-in-place 6 million bbls in these two sections
  • primary oil recovery: 6%
  • EUR: 400K
This is from an RMOJ story back in July, 2011, also, datapoints:
  • Chesapeake adding a third county to their horizontal drilling program in North Dakota (was the first Stark?)
  • applied to create two 1,280-acre units about 12 miles SE of Beach, ND
  • sections 1/2-139-104 and 6/7-139-103.
  • 7 million bbls oil-in-place
  • primary recovery: 6% of OOIP

  1. Any information about the success of any of these wells permitted in 2011? Were they good wells or dry?

    1. I updated the status of these wells; four wells are on confidential status; the others are only permitted locations (LOC). So, no information publicly released.
