For Newbies to the Bakken: Take A Look at A String of Wells -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

These are some very recent permits issued for the Bakken. The permits have just been issued and there is no activity here yet, but it will give "newbies" an idea why I remain excited about the Bakken.

Go to the NDIC home page, and click on the GIS map server (located on the sidebar at the left on the NDI home page). When you get there click on "Find Field/Unit" and type in "Manitou." When Manitou pops up, click on it and note six wells in section 20. You have to zoom in.
  • 20162, Hess, EN-Johnson-155-94-2017H-1, Manitou field; horizontal will go north
  • 20163, Hess, EN-Johnson-155-94-2932H-1, Alkali field; horizontal will go south
  • 20164, Hess, EN-Johnson-155-94-2017H-2, Manitou; horizontal will go north
  • 20165, Hess, EN-Johnson-155-94-2932H-2, Alkali field; horizontal will go south
  • 20166, Hess, EN-Johnson-155-94-2017H-3, Manitou; horizontal will go north
  • 20167, Hess, EN-Johnson-155-94-2932H-2, Alkali field; horizontal will go south
EN: "East Nesson, a very nice prospect for Hess

One mile to the west is another string of Hess wells, but only three in this case:
  • 19850, Hess, EN-Kiesel-155-94-19-18H-1, Manitou, horizontal will no north
  • 19851, Hess, EN-Kiesel-155-94-19-18H-2, Manitou, horizontal will no north
  • 19852, Hess, EN-Kiesel-155-94-19-18H-3, Manitou, horizontal will no north
The reason why Hess is not doing the same thing in section 19 (only three wells) as in section 20 (six wells) is because the section south of the three wells is controlled by XTO.
