Random Look At Two EOG Wells In Clarks Creek -- May 19, 2016

Some background to this EOG well:

• 22486, 2,421, EOG, Hawkeye 100-2501H, Clarks Creek, 47 stages, 14 million lbs, Three Forks; 1920-acre spacing; t9/12; cum 702K 3/16; only 22 days 3/16:

That's pretty impressive. Think about this -- this was back in 2012 --

• a three-mile long lateral (about as rare as hen's teeth in the Bakken)
• 1920-acre spacing when norm was 1280-acre; and EOG doing mostly 640-acre spacing in the Parshall oil field
• 47 stages back in 2012 when 24 stages or less was probably the norm
• almost 14 million lbs of proppant (13,952,857 lbs, to be exact) at a time when most were probably using about 4 million lbs of proppant; earlier, the standard was maybe a million lbs
• a Three Forks well

From the file report:

Sundry form received April 25, 2016: EOG expects to take this well off-line on/about March 21, 2016, through May, 2016, due to completion operations in the area. Offset frack on the West Clark 1 SWSW pad began on April 7, 2016; expect to conclude near the end of May. On a separate note, due to a casing repair necessary on the West Clark 105-0136H, EOG requested a 14-day extension to the 60-day shut-in lease stipulation.

March 18, 2016: upcoming activity in an adjoining section -- EOG drilled four horizontal wells within the SW half of section 1-151-95. The laterals of the wells drilled in section 1-151-95 are within 700 feet of the referenced well bore (this well). EOG planned to commence completion operations o/a March 5, 2016, and estimated 21 days to completed. Then this: the additional time required is needed to build reservoir pressure in order to support clean out of the 3-mile long lateral.

I assume the reference to "four horizontal wells within the SW half of section 1-151-95" has to refer to wells on the 15-well pad, though I could be wrong. I'm not sure why they would say "upcoming activity in an adjoining section, unless they mean that because #22486 originated in a section to the north, section 1-151-95 was the adjoining section.

#22486 sits on a 6-well pad:

The sister well that was completed about the same time:

• 22487, 67, EOG, Hawkeye 02-2501H, Clarks Creek, middle Bakken, 69 stages, 27 million lbs, stimulated 11/17/13; trip gas as high as 5,657 units, t12/13; cum 620K 3/16; only 22 days in 3/16;
