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.

    This is a pretty good take on where we are headed. The county roads were designed, built for moving small farm implements and even horse and buggy. They are that old. Some of the high-grade farm to market roads are O.K., but some suffer from soft spots, frost heaves and always lack of maintenance.
    I'm sure they'll find a solution, but this will take time and lots of money.
    Until then, it will be one big bottle neck and pain in the ass. Also, impeding production. But for some, a great opportunity to make money in road work.

    Deserves a stand-alone post. Thank you for taking time to comment.

    I think I had heard/read Al Jazeera was going to do a report from the Bakken, but then forgot about it.

    Thank you very much for sending this my way.
