Wells to Watch, Part I

Locator: 10001WTW.

 

I am no longer adding new wells to this page (posted January 17, 2011).  I do continue, periodically, to update IPs and total oil produced.

I have started a second "wells to watch" page.   This page simply got too long and unwieldy. I started the page early on in the Bakken to get a feel for what the wells are doing.  I now have a very good feel for Bakken wells.

This list is not always up to date. If the well you are looking at does not have an IP, search the entire blog using a search application at the blog site, or search at the Bakken Shale Discussion Group.

NOTE: effective March 1, 2010, CLR will change the way it determines IP. CLR used to do 7-day averages. Stating that pipeline capacity over seven days can be a challenge, CLR is now going to "peak 24-hour rates." 

Using your browser's search tool, this page will be easier to navigate.

West (and now, north) of Williston

Comment: activity just west of Williston was practically nonexistent prior to mid-2009. Two BEXP wells (the Olson and the Brad Olson) had a lot of interest during summer, 2009; BEXP with 24- / 28-stage fracture stimulation. BCD Farms most remote of all; far northwest of Williston; at extreme edge of BEXP's holdings; another 28-stage fracture. The Oasis well (Sandaker) is about 11 miles NNW of Williston; true wildcat.  The Jackson, the State, and the Williston are part of the initial 6-well partnership package with USEG.  This is extremely exciting, and occurring just after the record North Dakota land lease auction, November 3, 2009. Updated April 27, 2010.

The Kalil (18456, IP - 1,334) is in same township oil field as the BCD Farms (18204, IP - 1,553) and one section away from an old dry well (with the same family name) drilled decades ago. This was an area with lots of dry holes decades ago; horizontals to the Bakken seem to be making the difference. Drilling in Jan 10. I have seen a family name "Kahlil" in Williston; I wonder if "Kalil" was misspelled?

Grenora Area

Comment: new area of interest, summer, 2009; Newfield's 17946 was first well in the area; 1.6 miles NE of Grenora; confidential; said to be a "barnburner"

17946, Newfield, 86, Trigger 1-31H -- not much of a barnburner; turns out to be a bust --- wow, this is bad news, posted Feb 4, 2010.  (Cumulative: 19K after 15 months); cum 26K 2/12;

CLR

17877, Traxel 1-31H, dry (Bakken); produced 71 boepd in the Scallion (lower Lodgepole), immediately above the Bakken; January 2010 (technically, the IP was 84); CLR keeps this well going; as of June, 2010, the well continues to produce about 150 bbls/month; as of February, 2012, 100 bbs/month; produces 10 days/month
Comment: in Mercer County, a wildcat; about as far east as Bakken goes. Lots of folks are interested in this one due to how far east it is. Current press release; discussion regarding Traxel, November, 2009.

These were all reported in a CLR August 6, 2009, press release. These are nine (9) initial test wells targeted to the TFS formation. CLR is operator or has working interest in all nine of these wells:

17398, Kukla 1-21H, 1,429 (best well in the TFS to date for CLR as of Aug 6, 2009)

Dual-reservoir development (Bakken/TFS)

18352, Omar 2-1H (second of two), 694; cum 123K 2/12; no pump;

(Omar 1-1H, #17282, completed in 3rd quarter of 2008, had produced a cumulative 147,510 boe at year-end 2010. At $60/bbl = $8.9 million; cum 172K 2/12)  Omar 1 and Omar 2 were drilled by CLR as a test to see if the Bakken and the TFS were separate formations. The fact that Omar 1 produced a cumulative 147,510 boe even though Omar 2 was drilled parallel to and offset from Omar 1, suggests to some that the two formations, at least in this locality, are separate.) Bice 1-29H (#16943) had an IP of 516.

Hess

18228, 225, EN-Uran-154-93-1213H-1. Producing, Jan 12, 2010.
Comment: this is a Bakken/TFS stacked lateral. See Hess. Not all that good for a stacked lateral. This is a stacked lateral: the vertical well will go down to about 9,847 feet where the kick-off point (KOP) begins (starts to go horizontal. The Three Forks horizontal will be extend below the Middle Bakken horizontal.

18602 - 18607 (six wells); RS-Nelson Farms (3) and RS-Shuhart (3). This is interesting, T156N-90W. In the daily activity report dated January 12, 2010, there were six (6) new permits granted. All six permits went to Hess and they were all "development" wells in the Ross oil field. [For update, click here.] This is an average size oil field in the middle of the Bakken. These six permits are all in one section: section 27. All six are offset from the west line by 542 feet, and they are offset from the south line, respectively: 2201 feet, 2151 feet, 2101 feet, 2051 feet, 2001 feet, and 1951 feet. They will be going to the following total depths, again respectively, 19,603 feet; 19,251 feet; 18,976 feet; 18,231 feet; 19,089 feet; and 18,491 feet.  This would make them all long laterals (1280-acre; two sections). January 12, 2010.  [18602: 207; 18603: 154; 18604: 366; 18605: 339; 18606: 117; 18607: 120]

Hess, NDIC docket, January 13, 2010, case no. 11991: T156N-90W, two (2) 2560-acre spacing units: one spacing unit -- sections 20, 21, 22, and 23; the other spacing unit: sections 26, 27, 28, 29.

18775 - 18780 (six wells); EN-Fisher (3) and EN-Dolan (3). section 21- T157N-94W. In the daily activity report dated March 5, 2010, there were six (6) new permits granted to Hess. [For update, click here.]These wells will be the same as above: my hunch -- three long laterals going north, targeting the Upper TFS, the Lower TFS, and the Middle Bakken; and, three long laterals going south targeting the same formations. March 5, 2010.[18775: 511; 18776: 376; 18777: 176; 18778: 182; 18779: 321; 18780: 236]

 Stetson

18212: Dry. MHA 1-11H-148-90; Reported 10/16/09. One of the very few dry wells in current boom. [Operational update, Feb 18, 2010: a pump was put on this well; they are sure they are in the Bakken; 1,470 bbls of oil to date, as well as 34,000 bbls of water. Remember it takes trucks, personnel and money to transport water away from a well. It appears this well is not economic. (1,470 * $60 = $88,000 after four months for a well that cost $6 million to drill.)] On March 5, 2010, reported 50 bopd after workover -- still not all that great. No production since June, 2010; probably shut in.

Wells targeting the Three Forks Sanish

18233, Whiting, Ogden 11-3TFH, 1,479, 24-stage fracture stimulation
18294, Encore, Werre Trust 44-34H, offset to the Werre Trust 21-3H, 341

Comment: these are important wells to watch for at least two reasons. First, they are targeting the Three Forks Sanish. Producers are still trying to define what they have. Second, they are multiple-stage fracs. Whiting, a 24-stage frac. But more interesting, the Encore well. The "original" Weere Trust well was a single-stage frac. Now they will do a 24-stage frac on an offset to compare economics. The offset is 0.45 miles to the northwest. [Update: after the 24-stage frac -- 26K in one month; fast decline; cumulative 104,875 by Dec 31, 2010 -- a very good well; no production in December; winter conditions?]

Wells targeting the Lodgepole formation

Comment: the Lodgepole had been targeted before the current boom. However, with the conventional well Armstrong hit almost inside Dickinson city limits, it is now getting more attention. In addition, Teegue has opined that it may be the third "horizontal" play in the Williston Basin.

Whiting Lateral Targeting the TFS (from an uncompleted Bakken well)

16387, 376, Ron Olson 31-1HCE, 1-155N-97W, Williams County; 25K in first 7 months

Comment: this is an interesting one. On December 2, 2009, NDIC reported that this well was renamed (previously: Ron Olson 31-1H. This well apparently was never completed by Marathon. Whiting has it now and the it has been suggested that the "CE" stands for "casing exit." It is being said that the "casing exit" will target the TFS, and that the work will begin January 2, 2010.  The well is about 4.5 miles southeast of Ray, Williams County.
