Chimney Butte Oil Field

Updates

Original Post

The Hartman wells have been updated.

According to a reader, two years ago:

The Hartman wells in Dunn County were part of a density test by CLR where they placed 6 new wells next to 2 existing wells. The two 3rd bench wells represent the last time he looked at the wells at that time: a total bust with one and the second 3rd bench well was the most productive of the 6 new wells. 

I was remiss in updating Chimney Butte oil field.

Most recently, Chimney Butte ranked #2 among all major Bakken oil fields in production increase, on a percentage basis, month-over-month. 

Chimney Butte oil field is a relatively moderately sized oil field in the Bakken:
