West Ambrose - Ambrose - Blooming Prairie Fields

These three oil fields are all contiguous fields, north of Williston. They are all small fields; the three sections total about 78 sections.  The West Ambrose is only five sections, and Blooming Prairie is only 23 sections. That leaves Ambrose with about 50 sections.

Recently there has been a bit of new activity, and currently there are 8 wells in these three fields on the confidential list. There are about 14 producing wells, many of them with permits that suggest they were drilled several years ago. Of these, there appears to be one well of consequence, a CLR well with an IP of around 900 bopd, which targeted the Three Forks Sanish. The other few wells that I have data for had very low IPs. Two companies, Samson and Baytex, appear to have most of the permits (with the exception of the aforementioned CLR well).

The town of Ambrose sits at the north end of the Ambrose field, and Crosby sits just to the east of the Blooming Prairie field. The population of these two towns, according to Wikipedia, were 23, and 1,089 hardy souls, respectively, in the 2000 census. (There is a Crosby field that sits northeast of the town of Crosby, and is not contiguous to these three fields.)
