CLR: Jim Creek Eco-Pad

From Daily Activity Reports dated May 12, 2010:

CLR permits for an Eco-Pad in the Jim Creek oil field:

• 19020, Meadowlark 3-6H, SWSE 31-146N-95W
• 19021, Skachenko 3-31H, SWSE 31-146N-95W
• 19022, Meadowlark 2-6H, SWSE 31-146N-95W
• 19023, Skachenko 2-31H, SWSE 31-146N-95W

We're starting to see the Eco-Pad activity that Harold Hamm predicted about a year ago. Yesterday, CLR was granted four permits for another Eco-Pad in this immediate area, Rattlesnake Point oil field.

CLR already has an actively producing well in this section: #17153, Skachenko 1-3H.

Obviously CLR didn't have to put this Eco-Pad in to save the leases in this section; there must be something of interest here for CLR to put in four wells where there are already two actively producing wells. My hunch, in addition to targeting a second formation, is that CLR will be increasing the number of fracture stimulation stages to see how that compares to older wells with less fracture stages, and will also get a chance to see if multiple wells are affecting EURs of any of the others.
