Hardy Bakken Field -- Just for the Archives

Link here and here.
The Hardy Bakken Field in Southeastern Saskatchewan was discovered in 2008 by individuals involved in the original Bakken discoveries in Montana and North Dakota. The Hardy area falls along a well documented oil migration pathway that extends from the heart of the Williston Basin in North Dakota out to the old Bakken producing Roncott field (just Northeast of Hardy). Passport has participated in the second Bakken horizontal well in the Hardy field which is considered a successful well (initial rates of ~164 barrels of oil per day) and proves the area's potential.
A successful well with initial rates of 160 bbls/day. Hmmm. Think what the wells in North Dakota with initial rates of 1,000 bopd mean.

By the way, at the link, there is a nice schematic of the Williston Basin Bakken.

  1. Probably shallow and cheap. Compare to Spearfish.

    1. Agreed. I'm curious what it costs them to frack; number of stages, etc.

      Man, this has been a miserable day for my blogging; I cannot get a good connection -- you have sent in a number of good links -- and it was all I could do just to get them posted. I didn't have a chance to comment on them to the degree I would have liked.
