This is interesting. No fanfare. No announcement. In today's daily activity report (October 19, 2010), file number 18544, CLR, Kennedy 2-31T, SWSE 31-151N-96W, McKenzie County, 1,925 feet, Dimmick Lake: a dry hole.
Rare as hen's teeth: dry holes in the current boom in western North Dakota. Non-economical, occasionally, but "never" a dry hole.
This was CLR's first Eco-Pad, I believe, and one can find numerous postings about this well on this blog, by using the search application to find the Kennedy 2-31T.
Looking at the GIS Map Server, the other three wells on this Eco-Pad are long laterals and producing. There is a new permit/file number right next to the failed Kennedy 2-31T: #18946, Kennedy 2X-31H. My hunch: a drilling problem with Kennedy 2-31T. Kennedy 2X-31H is the "replacement."
More to follow, I'm sure.
