    (1) Sections 30 and 31, Township 150 North, Range 94 West, McKenzie County, North Dakota, are hereby established as a standup 1280-acre spacing unit for the exclusive purpose of drilling up to thirty-one horizontal wells within said spacing unit within the Spotted Horn-Bakken Pool and Zone XIII is hereby redefined to include said spacing unit. Existing and future vertical and directional wells drilled within the spacing unit herein established shall not be subject to this order.
    (2) Section 31, Township 150 North, Range 94 West, McKenzie County, North Dakota, is hereby established as a 640-acre spacing unit for the exclusive purpose of drilling one horizontal well within said spacing unit within the Spotted Horn-Bakken Pool and Zone II is hereby extended to include said spacing unit. Existing and future vertical and directional wells drilled within the spacing unit herein established shall not be subject to this order.
    (3) Sections 16 and 21, Township 150 North, Range 94 West, McKenzie County, North Dakota, are hereby established as a standup 1280-acre spacing unit for the exclusive purpose of drilling up to thirty-two horizontal wells within said spacing unit within the Spotted Horn-Bakken Pool and Zone XIV is hereby redefined to include said spacing unit. Existing and future vertical and directional wells drilled within the spacing unit herein established shall not be subject to this order.
    (4) Sections 8, 17, 19, and 20, Township 150 North, Range 94 West, McKenzie County, North Dakota, are hereby established as an L-shaped 2560-acre spacing unit for the exclusive purpose of drilling up to sixty horizontal wells within said spacing unit within the Spotted Horn-Bakken Pool and Zone XX is hereby created to include said spacing unit. Existing and future vertical and directional wells drilled within the spacing unit herein established shall not be subject to this order.
    IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:


    This oreder was signed on12-12-14. It will be interesting to see the Spotted Horn Field growth. Being on the east edge of the Nesson Anticline with the associated natural fractures shows this field to be an underdeveloped sweet spot.

  2. Sixty wells in one 2560-acre unit. Color me impressed. I've posted this as a stand-alone post for easier access. A huge "thank you."

  3. " but not reallocating production for wells producing on other spacing units and such other relief as is
    appropriate."
    a direct cut and paste from a Slawson request. Have not seen this phrase before- Any Ideas?
    Thanks

  4. That's from case #23619, January 22, 2015.

    I don't pay close attention to pooling cases but I don't recall seeing that phrase before. I assume it means that the case relates to only those wells on the "overlapping" unit and to make clear this does not relate to wells located in the same "surface" areas but not part of the "overlapping unit." In a sense that should be obvious but perhaps it is necessary to keep things clear. That's my 2 cents worth; perhaps others know.
