New Wells Reporting -- April 26, 2010

Finally, a few more wells reported today. See "new wells reporting."

I've added the "high initial production wells" and numbers to the site.

Although Bice 2-29H had reported earlier (press release), today's daily activity report provides an opporutnity to re-state why this well was on the "wells to watch" list:
Dual-reservoir development (Bakken/TFS)


16943, Bice 1-29H, 516
17884, Bice 2-29H (first of two to report), 1,429*

18352, Omar 2-1H (second of two), 694
17282, Omar 1-1H (first of two), cumulative 137K in about 15 months (huge well), 660

(Omar 1-1H, completed in 3rd quarter of 2008, had produced a cumulative 137,300 boe at year-end 2009. At $60/bbl = $8.25 million.) Omar 1 and Omar 2 were drilled by CLR as a test to see if the Bakken and the TFS were separate formations. The fact that Omar 1 produced a cumulative 137,300 boe even though Omar 2 was drilled parallel to and offset from Omar 1, suggests to some that the two formations, at least in this locality, are separate.) Bice 1-29H (#16943) had an IP of 516.  Folks are wondering what this is all about. I, too, am curious. 

111!

Last night around midnight, Sunday, April 25, 2010, the number of active rigs hit a new record: 110.

That record did not last long. This morning, Monday, April 26, 2010, a new record:  111 active rigs in North Dakota.

See "Active Rigs."
