May 4, 2021: Hess reporting some nice Manitou wells.

Original Post

Manitou oil field has been in the news recently with several new permits.

But the reason I decided to write about Manitou this morning is because of a bit of trivia. His first time to the Dakotas, Theodore Roosevelt bought a horse named Nell. That was in 1883; he was not quite 25 years old. The following year, he bought a new horse and named it Manitou. [Source: Dan Aadland, c. 2010, p. 9.]

Manitou oil field is 36 sections, irregularly shaped, north of the river, and just north of the bull's eye of the Bakken. It is about six miles southwest of Tioga, the "oil capital" of North Dakota. The oil field shares a border with the first North Dakota oil field, the Beaver Lodge, to its west, and with Alger oil field to the east. Both of these fields have been incredibly good fields, and it looks like Manitou will join them.

Currently, the field averages about one well per section, but this should change over time.

The most interesting set of wells right now is the six-well pad operated by Hess:

• 19983, running north, 845, Hess, EN-Ruland A-155-94-1201H-1, Manitou, s1/11; t8/11; F; cum 175K 12/14; 38 stages; 1.7 million lbs total; 831K ceramics; Three Forks
• 19985, running south, 1,073, Hess, EN-Dobrovolny A-155-94-1324H-1, Manitou, s1/11; t7/11; AL; cum 182K 12/14; frack report to be submitted later; geologic markers to be submitted later
• 19987, running north, 1,521, Hess, EN-Ruland A-155-94-1201H-2, Manitou, s1/11; t9/11; AL; cum 198K 12/14; frack report to be submitted later; geologic markers to be submitted later
