Mountrail County
The high bid ($7,200/acre) in Mountrail County was section 21, T150N-92W, Van Hook oil field.
The largest single bid, the $992,000 bid, in Mountrail county was in section 27, T150N-92W, a wildcat, but right next to (south of) the Van Hook oil field.
Williams County
McKenzie County
The high bids in McKenzie County were in an undeveloped, undesignated area just 1.4 miles northwest of Alexander, just a 1.5 miles west of US Highway 85, just before driving into Alexander.
A 160-acre parcel is one-fourth of a section (640 acres). On 640-acre spacing, one can put in a short lateral. A 160-acre parcel for $1 million equates to $4 million for the entire section. The short lateral well could cost about $6 million. So, just to get started, the upfront cost for a well going into this section could cost $10 million.
