So, What's Going On In The Sanish? CLR's Burr Federal Wells -- March 9, 2015

Updates

November 21, 2018: graphic updates of the three 8-well Burr Federal pads:

July 30, 2018: as expected, CLR did frack the Burr Federal wells; production data has been updated below.

November 28, 2017: some older CLR Burr Federal wells are being shut in suggesting CLR is getting ready to frack some of the Burr Federal wells that have not yet been fracked. See production updates and status of wells below.


August 30, 2017: production updates as of 6/17;

March 15, 2017: drilling as we speak --

December 6, 2016:

October 8, 2016: minor correction on the NDIC map. The two CLR wells, #32126 and #32129, were annotated in the wrong location initially (see diagram at March 27, 2016, entry, below). The NDIC has correct that, and moved the locations to proper position in the NWSW quadrant of the section as seen in this screenshot taken on the date noted:

August 5, 2016: IPs and production data has been updated.

March 27, 2016: this is what section 25-153-93 looks like now (look at all the new locations and all the wells that have been drilled since the last time we looked:

There are 34 wells sited in this section, though the 34 wells are not all drilling the same drilling unit.

Original Post

 

In the process of looking up something else, I ran into this striking little graphic, section 25-153-93:

Yes, you counted correctly: 17 well locations on one pad (or two very close, neighboring, pads). And, note the rig. These are sited in the Sanish, Whiting's field, but will run into Elm Tree oil field.

Zooming out:

I count 26 wells sited in this section, although not all of them are in the drilling unit shown.

These wells are located in the Sanish oil field, in Mountrail County, just across the river from the sweet spot in McKenzie County. These seventeen wells will run west into sections 26/27/34/35-153-93 -- a 2560-acre spacing unit, almost (if not all) completely under the river.
