Hess Reports IP For First of Three Abrahamson Wells (On Single Pad) -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

18838, 424, Hess, EN-Abrahamson-155-93-3019H-1, Alger, Bakken.

This is a long lateral, 31,000 bbls cumulative in first two months. It has been producing since July, 2010, but has had some months with minimal production. Runs recorded:
  • July: 5 days
  • August: 31 days
  • September: 21 days
  • October: 3 days
  • November: 9 days
  • December: 21 days
So, time will tell how the pad does with three wells.

  2. Thank you for pointing that out. I would have missed it.

    I was gone all day so I haven't had chance to look at earnings for COP and HES which came out today.

    The 900,000 figure is in the transcript which I will link later. This is a very interesting and very important figure. On December 30, 2010, Zacks said Hess "more than 750,000 acres." Well, 900K is "way more" than 750K."

    Thank you for the head's up. Here's the SeekingAlpha link which will eventually get linked in the body of the blog:

    Huge amount of news today; I may do a stand-alone post summarizing all the news today.

  3. I just posted some data points on the earnings transcript:

    The Bakken dominated the discussion. It's quite remarkable:

    Switch from dual-laterals to single laterals to hold-by-production

    Four dedicated frac crews now; a fifth one later this year

    20,000 bopd day in 2011; guidance 40,000 bopd in 2011

    18 rigs now (remember, it was only recently Hess had 10 rigs and was planning to move to 15; with acquisitions picked up some more rigs)

    Very, very upbeat, exciting report
