Quiet Day in North Dakota -- Only Three (3) New Permits -- North Dakota, USA

Producers: EOG (2) and North Plains.

Oil fields: Parshall, Ross, and Truax.

In addition several wells reported or released from confidential status

• 18414, 2,861, Newfield, Sand Creek Federal 1-27HA, reported elsewhere
• 18965, 1,264, Whiting, Satterthwaite 13-7H, Sanish, Bakken, reported elsewhere
• 18402, 641, Petro-Hunt, Fort Berthold 152-94-22D-15-1H, Antelope, Sanish (Three Forks). From well file I could not find if this well has been fracked. See note regarding Horob below. This was originally going to be a Middle Bakken well but was changed to a Three Forks (Sanish) well.
• 18737, 1,034, Zenergy, Dakota-3 Mason 2-11H, Van Hook, Bakken; spudded August, was not fracked until January (four month delay)
• 18901, 640, CLR, Horob 1-14H, Hebron,  Bakken

Horob is in the small Hebron field which I've blogged about before; several people have been waiting to see results on this one. According to the well file, "the Horob 1-14H spacing unit contains E/2 W/2 and E/2 of sections 11 and 14 of 155N-104W. This adds up to 960 acres." This jibes with the GIS map server which shows this part of the Hebron oil field with 960-acre spacing. The well file is very thin (30 pages) and there is no indication that it has been fracked, although I could have missed it, or the paperwork may not be there yet. With an IP test date, one would assume that it's been fracked but I don't know.
