Hess Has a Sixth Permit/Well to Monitor Long Lateral #17117, EN-Person-156-94-1102H-1

The March 14, 2011, daily activity report listed another permit for an observation well monitoring #17117, EN-Person-156-94-1102H-1, a long lateral starting in section 11 and ending in section 2, T156N-R94W.

With this permit, there are now six permits/wells along this lateral. They do not have the "H" designation, and this, as well as their name (Person Observation) suggests these vertical wells are monitoring the effectiveness of initial fracturing.

The six permits along the horizontal #17117:
  • 20500, EN-Person Observation 11-33, east side of the lateral
  • 20315, EN-Person Observation 11-22, west side of the lateral
  • 20442, EN-Person Observation 2-24, west side of the lateral
  • 20361, EN-Person Observation 11-31, west side of the lateral
  • 20539, EN-Person Observation 2-32, east side of the lateral
  • 20599, EN-Person Observation 2-43, east side of the lateral
#17117, 345, EN-Person-156-94-1102H-1, Big Butte, Bakken, long lateral. Cumulative oil: 98K at about 2.5 years. Yet to pay for itself. Spud 7/3/08; IP test date 9/11/08. [Look how soon after reaching TD they were able to frack, test and calculate IP.] I am unable to determine number of frac stages but based on fact this is an early well, the number of stages was probably low.

I assume these vertical wells are for monitoring, but there may be something else going on. Check out this article about EOG in Eagle Ford, south Texas.
