Samson (SSN) To Start Fracking Today? Any Update?

Someone reminded me that SSN was supposed to start fracking today. I have not heard anything. Curious if anyone has heard anything.

I also corrected a link regarding five Canadian companies for those interested in the Alberta Bakken and Canadian oil sands in an earlier post.

Here's the update regarding SSN fracking.

SSN update for the Stockyard Creek oil field, March 16, 2011:
Samson O&G advised that the fracture stimulation equipment is on location and rigged up on the Rodney #1-14 well. The stimulation job is expected to take approximately 4 days, during which the 16 stages will see a planned 2 million pounds of proppant placed.

Samson's fifth well, the Earl #1-13, is expected to be stimulated on March 28th, however this date might be displaced because of a competing well which is ahead in the frac schedule is likely to be delayed such that March 28th date is maintained.

    The Rodney #1-14 well was drilled to a total measured depth of 17,222 feet and is Samson's fourth production well in the field.

    Samson's fifth well, the Earl #1-13, is expected to be stimulated on March 28th, however this date might be displaced because of a competing well which is ahead in the frac schedule is likely to be delayed such that March 28th date is maintained.

    The sixth well, the Everett #2-15 (previously referred so as the Harstad #2-15), which will be the final well to develop the Bakken Formation on a 640 acre spacing, has an expected spud date of May 1st. (Rig Zone 3-15-11)

    Drove by the Rodney well at 3 this afternoon. They are very busy and look to be just about finished fracking.

    Hi, thanks. If I were visiting Williston, I would definitely be driving out there. Close enough to Williston and a beautiful drive. It's amazing how much activity there is in a relatively small field. Thank you for update. Eager to see how good the well is.
