Oasis With Another Great Williston-Area Well -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

It appears Oasis has another great well, this time west of Williston, in the Squires oil field.

• 18799, Oasis, Stowers 5502 43-8H

Although no IP has been reported yet, February production was reported at 14,838 bbls of oil. There was significantly less oil produced in previous two months (January, 11 days, 2,600 bbls; December, 9 days, 1,500 bbls), so obviously the well was fracked sometime in January.

The well was spudded 5/12/10.

There was some difficulty with this well so it's hard to say when it was ready for fracking. There is a report in the well file that says work on the well was completed (ready for fracking) dated November 23, 2010.

Be that as it may, this looks like a good Oasis well, and it's in an area that seems to be very, very good. I get a kick out of this since this is exactly where I grew up and I always wondered if there was oil west of Williston.

Again, I have been very impressed with the success of BEXP, Whiting and Oasis.
