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:

(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, 1,47924-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)

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.

  2. Thank you for your comments. I don't subscribe to any site, so it's often difficult to keep up with information. If anyone ever sees something I missed, don't hesitate to let me know. Also, the Bakken Shale discussion group is always very, very helpful.

  4. Thank you. I don't subscribe to any news service or NDIC database, so it's not easy finding this data, and I'm sure I'm missing a bunch. I may have to subscribe to NDIC database after the holidays; between now and mid-January I may be on the road and access to data will be more difficult. But I will do what I can. If there's anything that would make this site easier to navigate or something that's missing, please let me know.

  5. The Fracking tanks are back at 18086 Sergeant Major 1-21H along with a work over rig. Hmmm!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Yes!! Thank you for telling me that. It made my evening! I only get back to North Dakota once a year and I love driving the back roads, checking out the oil activity, and I miss not being able to see it first-hand now. With three Whiting wells very near Newfield's Sergeant Major suggests to me that there should be a decent well there. Again, thanks for sending me a note.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Incidentally, interest in the Sergeant Major well was noted in a comment published on "ND Oil: Trends" page. In that comment, there is my first discussion regarding the Whiting wells in the same area. I really thank the folks who send me updates on what is posted here; a lot of folks check in on this site for updates regarding "their" wells, and the ND oil industry in general.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Whiting O&G just renewed the permit for 17188, Boln 23-28. This well is just south of 18086 Sergeant Major 1-21H. Not unusual, just something Whiting feels is worth holding on to.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Thank you. There is just too much to follow. I don't often look at the "Permit Renewals" on the Daily Activity Report, and I missed this one. As noted above, it will be interesting to see the outcome of the Sergeant Major and the other Whiting wells in the immediate area.

    I think it will be very interesting to compare IPs and 6-month and 1-year production accumulations when we start seeing infill wells, and wells in the same section but targeting different geologic formations.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I wonder why 18086 Sergeant Major 1-21 H is no longer listed on the NDIC Bakken Horizontal Wells By Producing Zone website. It had been shown under the 3 forks formation for the last few months however,it is no longer posted. Could this mean they are back working (fracking) the well again.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Thank you for noting that; you have an "eagle eye." I think you are correct. Someone above posted that, yes, the fracking crews are back.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Any rumors on that Obert 1-13H well? That should have an IP by now.....but Continental does keep it quiet......rumors?

    ReplyDelete
  13. I have not heard a thing. You might consider asking the same question on the Bakken Shale Discussion Group --- I have found that group to be most helpful. The best indication would be the number of tanks sitting on the pad. The Obert is a wildcat and I doubt there's a pipeline out there.

    ReplyDelete
  14. 18086 Sergeant Major 1-21H is now listed as being in the South Tobacco Garden Field. Whiting has also just renewed permits for 17236 Foreman and 17238 Evanson wells.

    ReplyDelete
  15. The two Whiting wells are "wildcats." The South Tobacco Garden Field is very small -- four sections -- if the Whiting wells are successful, perhaps the Garden will be extended to include these wells. Thank you for stopping by.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Does any know about well 18009 it looks like they are about to frac the well its in the stockyard creek field. Any info would be appreciated.

    ReplyDelete
  17. This is the Gene 1-22H well (section 22). The folks over on the Bakken Shale Discussion Board should be able to help you out. See sidebar on the right, near the top. Don't mention or link this log; I'm persona non grata over on that discussion thread. But it's a great resource for getting answers. They do a great job.

    By the way, this well is on the same pad/site as Grasser 1-26H, both Zavanna wells. It appears they are doing the same thing as Slawson, two wells on one pad. Zavanna has two similar wells one section to the west. Looks exciting. Stockyard Creek is just a few miles east of Williston. Highway 1804 runs right through it.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I see the Newfield Production Company is applying for an order extending the boundaries and amending the field rules for the South Tobacco Garden-Bakken Pool to create and establish fourteen 1280-acre spacing units in T.150N.,R.100W. & T150N.,R99W. Asking for the drilling of one horizontal well on each spacing unit. Might this be leading up to bigger and better things in that area of the Bakken?

    ReplyDelete
  19. I just went through the April docket line-by-line and posted a summary two days ago. I noticed the same thing about Newfield's activity.

    I'm inappropriately exuberant about the Bakken so I might not be the best person to ask, but two things: a) we will know more when two Whiting wildcats (17188, 17238), just next to South Tobacco, come off the confidential list; and, b) I think the technology is the big story here.

    EOG reported yesterday/today that its proved reserves jumped from 80 million barrels in the Bakken to 240 million barrels (tripled) in its existing acreage DUE TO the technology (more accurate drilling and better fracturing). This leads me to believe that there is much more to be learned going into these relatively under-drilled areas.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Any news on the status of the Sergeant Major 1-21H, T.150N.,R.99W.? Still being reworked?

  24. Do you have andy info on permit 19010

    ReplyDelete
  25. My data base is at home; I'm at school right now, but I don't think I have anything on this.

    The permit was issued May 13, 2010. That would be Slawson, Van Hook, Armada Federal 1-14-13H. The GIS map server only shows it as confidential. The folks over at the Bakken Shale Discussion Group might know more.

  26. Do you have any information on #18349?

    ReplyDelete
  27. 18349, KOG, Sondrol 30-21H
    IP: 576
    Cumulative to date thru 2/11: 75,324 bbls of oil

    Spudded: 10/28/2009
    Tested: 3/30/10
    Formation: middle Bakken

    January production: 4661 bbls
    February production: 3628 bbls

    Cannot tell from well file how many frac stages (it was fracked).

    Rule of thumb: well pays for itself at wellhead at 100,000 barrels; this well is on its way to paying for itself.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Has anybody heard how the AV-Schultz well did? It was in Burke county and just came off the confidential list.#19347

    ReplyDelete
  29. According to NDIC its status is still DRL, so hopefully someone who might know something might respond. Best best is to ask the same question over on the Bakken Shale Discussion Group board (Teegue discussion group) linked at the sidebar at the right. This is the URL:
