AKA: The Kalil Farms Field

The Bull Butte field appears to be building on the success of the adjoining Squires oil field.

Bull Butte is an average size field, I guess, coming in at 60 sections. It is located northwest of Williston, and as mentioned, adjoining the Squires oil field on the north side.  (As a reminder, the Hebron oil field, only 12 sections big, is squeezed in between Squires oil field and the North Dakota / Montana state line.)

All 36 sections of T156N-R103W are included, as well as 18 sections of 165-102, and 2 sections and 4 sections, respectively of 156-102, and, 157-103.

There were 15 permits issued for Bull Butte field in 2010; two, so far, in 2011 (as of February 9, 2011).

The field appears to be evenly split between BEXP and Oasis. So far, the wells have been fairly good wells, although the IPs for the BEXP wells have not been as high as other BEXP wells closer to the center of the Bakken. The IPs for the Oasis wells are as good as any of the best Oasis wells, if my memory serves me correctly. Both Oasis and BEXP are putting in 2-well pads in this field.

According to the GIS map server, the entire field has 1280-acre spacing, which is now becoming the standard in the North Dakota Bakken.

There is presently one rig-on-site in Bull Butte:
