2560 Acre Spacing -- Kittleson Slough -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

This is an interesting bit of trivia and may be an interesting thread to follow over at the Bakken Shale Discussion Group.

The Kittleson Slough field is pretty much spaced at 1280-acre, some 640-acres, but there are eight wells on 2560-acre spacing.

• 20006, 268, EOG, Lostwood 21-1402H, Kittleson Slough,
• 20008, 288, EOG, Lostwood 22-1423H, Kittleson Slough,

• 20009, 407, EOG, Lostwood 6-1102H, Kittleson Slough,
• 20010, 327, EOG, Lostwood 20-1123H, Kittleson Slough,

• 19944, conf, EOG, Lostwood 2-1301H, Kittleson Slough,
• 19945, conf, EOG, Lostwood 19-1324H, Kittleson Slough,

• 19942, conf, EOG, Lostwood 1-1201H, Kittleson Slough,
• 19943, conf, EOG, Lostwood 18-1224H, Kittleson Slough,

IPs less than 500 bopd are holding 2,560 acres by production. This is a bit misleading because an owner of any mineral acre in any of the four sections will participate in two four wells, if that makes sense. At least that's how I understand it. I could be wrong. Follow the discussion over at the link.

See first comment to explain the mistake I made (and corrected above).
