Random Look At Three EOG Cases On The NDIC September, 2013, Hearing Dockets Agenda -- Rough Look

Long-time and regular readers may want to compare these EOG cases with the EOG case 11939 in the December, 2009, NDIC hearing.  In that case, EOG was looking to permit 570 wells, if I counted correctly.

In the hearing dockets to be held in September, 2013, I count, in the three cases below, 604 permits that EOG could be requesting in the future.

Case 21007: Application of EOG Resources, Inc. for an order authorizing the drilling,
completing and producing of a total of six wells on each existing overlapping 1280-acre spacing unit comprised of:

43 + 37 = 80 drilling units
6 wells each = 480 wells


21008, EOG, Van Hook-Bakken, 5 wells on each of 2 320-acre units; 7 wells on an existing 1280-acre unit; 7 wells on an existing 1920-acre unit; 7 wells on each of 3 1600-acre units; Mountrail (10, 7, 8, 21 = 46 wells)

21009, EOG, Stanley-Bakken 6 wells on 4 1280-acre units; 6 wells on each of 9 1920-acre units; Mountrail
(24, 54 = 78 wells)

These three cases: 480 + 46 + 78 = 604 wells.
