Hebron Oil Field: An Active Little Field

Absolutely incredible day here in the Bakken. I took a drive out west of Williston to visit the Hebron oil field. This field is composed of only two townships. That oil field currently has about eight (8) wells or permits, with two (2) more just to the east (in Squires oil field); and one (1) well with rig on site just outside the northern boundary. Two of the eight wells/permits inside the Hebron have rigs on site.

For a little field, it sure is active. Except for two of the aforementioned wells (which are producing), all others are confidential. It is amazing the number of miles of new road that Continental Resources had to put in to reach these wells. I'm sure there was a road maintained by the local farmer/rancher, and perhaps the county, but the road would have been inadequate for all the trucks.

UPDATE

August 17, 2010: Another well, the Wiseman, has spudded in the Hebron oil field.
