Sagebrush just got five (5) permits for five (5) wells, all in section 30, T162N-82W.
It turns out Sagebrush already has two wells in that section.
Here's what's going on. These seven wells all have the same location: SWSE 30-162-82
19027, Confidential, Erickson Et Al 1B, permit granted May 13, 2010.
19028, Confidential, Erickson Et Al 3B, rig on site, permit granted May 13, 2010.
19139, Confidential, Erickson Et Al 1A, permit granted June 17, 2010.
19140, Confidential, Erickson Et Al 4B, permit granted June 17, 2010.
19141, Confidential, Erickson Et Al 3A, permit granted June 17, 2010.
19142, Confidential, Erickson Et Al 4A, permit granted June 17, 2010.
19143, Confidential, Erickson Et Al 2B, permit granted June 17, 2010.
They already "hold" control of the location so there was no hurry to grab these permits, but the fact they are going to put seven wells in one section suggests they are trying something new, even for the Bakken.
One more permit for "2A" and it looks like this could be two Eco-Pads next to each other, four wells on an Eco-Pad.
On the other hand, is it possible that 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent four different pay zones, and A and B represent horizontals running in opposite directions? Looking at the GIS map doesn't offer many hints.
well how zones are in this area?/
ReplyDeleteThe question is: how many (pay) zones are there in this area? That's a great question. I assume these are going to be horizontal wells, but this is up near where EOG is drilling some very shallow Spearfish wells; some being drilled in as little as four days (see my April 7, 2010, blog).
