Mega-Pads: Reservoir Well Spacing Pilot Projects; EOG, CLR, KOG; 12+ Wells In One Spacing Unit

Mega-Pads

This is nothing new. Regular readers are aware of all this. But it was time to put all this "stuff" in one spot for easier access.

Whiting's high-density pilot projects, December, 2013. 

Summer of 2013: 24- and 48-Well/Spacing Unit Tests
EOG's 320-Acre Downspacing Test Successful; May Go To 160-Acre Downspacing
Continental's Charlotte Wells
  • For background, visit this August 29, 2012, posting. This is one of my most visited pages, and one I am most happy to have posted. This is one of the first, if not the first post, to note the possibility of a trillion-bbl reserve in the Bakken.
  • For the graphic and better explanation of Continentals' Charlotte test program, visit this January 27, 2013, post.
Kodiak's Smokey and Polar pilot projects.

[Update: KOG asked for a longer period of confidentiality after the pilot projects came off the confidential list but that was denied by the NDIC. Status update of these wells in that request. -- July 23, 2013]

KOG has two pilot tests going on. Results from one are starting to be reported. The 12-well test on a single 1280-acre spacing unit will target the middle Bakken with 6 horizontals, the first bench of the Three Forks with 3 horizontals, and the second bench of the Three Forks with 3 horizontals. (There are some additional subtleties if the test proves to be a success and adjacent spacing units are involved. That's where overlapping spacing units become important.)

KOG provided this in their most recent presentation (OGIS, April 16, 2013) [If I'm asked to remove this graphic, I will]:
