Lodgepole Monster Wells In The Dickinson Area -- December 2, 2018

Updates

Later, 9:23 p.m. CT: see first comment. A reader writes to say that the well of interest, #34711 was dry. 

Original Post
 
I don't plan to update production numbers on this page. Production data will be updated elsewhere.

A reader noted that this well coming off the confidential list this week might be an interesting one to watch:
  • 34711, conf, Armstrong Operating, Harvest States 7-11, Eland, no production data, 
Because it's on the confidential list, I don't know much more about it, but I will bet it's not a Bakken well. LOL. I would be very, very surprised if it's anything but a vertical (or possibly a directional) well targeting the Lodgepole.

For newbies: I talked about "Lodgepole" a long, long time ago (back in 2009). That was in the early days of the blog; I didn't know much about "oil" then so there may be amateurish errors in that post. That entry is linked at the sidebar at the right. I have not read that post lately, and I have not updated it or corrected any typographical or factual errors. 

It's my "belief" that hitting the Lodgepole in the Dickinson area is a hit or miss: if it's a "hit," it's most likely going to be a monster well; but unlike the Bakken, hitting the Lodgepole is a bit tougher. Having said that, looking at the NDIC map, there doesn't appear to be many dry holes in Eland or Patterson Lake.

Over at "monster wells" several Lodgepole wells made the cut.

  1. The Armstrong Harvest States well was a dry hole, plugged by the drilling rig.

    1. #34711. Wow, that's too bad. AS noted, the Lodgepole -- can be hard to hit. Thank you for taking time to post. Much, much appreciated.

  2. That stinks. I always like reading up on Lodgepole wells.

    1. Agree completely. Took the wind out of my Lodgepole sail. It's a small sail, but important all the same.
