Random Look At Bakken Activity -- About Four Miles North Of Williston, Missouri Ridge And Tyrone Oil Fields; One 3-Payzone Well ApproachingThe 1-Million Bbl Milestone

Updates

May 31, 2014: Slide #2 of 30 (IMG_1606), of Vern Whitten's most recent set of oil patch photographs: I wonder if it isn't an Oasis 5-well pad sited in Missouri Ridge, 5-155-101? That would be quite a coincidence because I just posted a fairly in-depth look at this pad yesterday without connecting the pad to the photographs.

With Williston expanding in size, this interesting area of the Bakken is only about four miles from the northwest corner of present-day Williston, in Missouri Ridge oil field. There is an interesting well in this field:

Three payzone well, total production, ~ 940K bbls; one formation still producing; the Stonewall continues to produce about 1,000 bbls of oil/month.

• 6757, 768, Encore, Clark 1, Missouri Ridge, Red River; t8/79; cum 588K; PNA;
• 6757, 262, Encore, Clark 1, Missouri Ridge, Stonewall; AL; t8/79; cum 352K 4/14;
• 6757, 3, Encore, Clark 1, Missouri Ridge, Birdbear; t11/01; cum 329; PNA;

There are also three active rigs in this immediate area. In that section, there will soon be four multi-wells Bakken pads in addition to a single well pad (currently producing), and four active "legacy" wells.

The single-well Bakken pad:

• 22498, 1,267, Oasis, Shepherd 55-1 12-5H, Missouri Ridge, t5/12; cum 111K 4/14;

A 2-well pad, one rig on-site:

• 27641, drl, Oasis, Holmes 55-1 11-5 3B, Tyrone,
• 27642, conf, Oasis, Holmes 55-1 11-5 2T, Tyrone,

A 3-well pad, one rig on-site:

• 27817, drl, Oasis, Andre Shepherd 5501 21-5 3T, Three Forks B1, 1280-acres, Missouri Ridge,
• 27818, drl, Oasis, Andre Shepherd 5501 21-5 4T, Three Forks B1, 1280-acres, Missouri Ridge,
• 27819, drl, Oasis, Andre Shepherd 5501 21-5 5T, Three Forks B1, 1280-acres, Missouri Ridge,

A 5-well pad, one rig on-site:

• 28045, conf, Oasis, Holmes 5501 14-5 6T, Three Forks B1, 1280-acres, Tyrone,
• 28046, conf, Oasis, Holmes Harbour 5501 14-5 2B, Bakken, 2560-acres, Tyrone,
• 28047, drl, Oasis, Andre 5501 14-5 3B, Bakken, 1280-acres, Missouri Ridge,
• 28048, drl, Oasis, Harbour 5501 14-5 2T, Three Forks B1, 1280-acres, Missouri Ridge,
• 28051, conf, Oasis, Shepherd Andre 5501 14-5 4B, Bakken, 2560-acres, Missouri Ridge,

A 4-well pad:

• 27718, loc, Oasis, Shepherd 5501 12-5 3B, Bakken, 1280-acres, Missouri Ridge,
• 27719, drl, Oasis, Shepherd 5501 12-5 2B, Bakken, 1280-acres, Missouri Ridge,
• 27729, drl, Oasis, Holmes 5501 12-5 5T, Three Forks B1, 1280-acres, Tyrone,
• 27730, drl, Oasis, Holmes 5501 12-5 4B, Bakken 1280-acres, Tyrone, 

Note: in the graphic below, the "dots" without a horizontal emanating from them are all vertical wells; they are all still active wells, mostly Madison or multi-payzone wells. #6757 was drilled in 1979, and has been pumping oil for about 35 years. As noted above, it continues to produce about 1,000 bbls of oil / month, better than some Bakken wells.
