Operators: XTO (2), Petro-Hunt
Fields: North Fork, and a wildcat.
The Petro-Hunt wildcat is about 20 miles north of Williston and Stockyard Creek.
The XTO wells will be on a single pad in North Fork.
Among wells that reported today, three good ones:
- 19061, 1,215, Zenergy, Payette 10-15H
- 19144, 952, Marathon, TAT USA 34-22H
- 19531, 1,055, Whiting, Barlow 14-6XH, spudded 11/10; test date 2/11; one day of production in February: 137 barrels
Note the "X" designation of the Whiting well. See a Whiting corporate presentation for diagrammatic explanation of an "X" well -- it's an infill well that picks up the part of a section not otherwise reached by long laterals.
**********
Incredibly, there was a report of a dry hole:
- 17538, DRY, Slawson, Intruder Federal 1-17H, Ratcliffe formation (Madison)
The Ratcliffe formation is part of the Madison/Charles group, and just a bit above the Bakken. There is no recent activity in this area; but there are some nice Madison wells in the immediate area southwester part of the state, but it is a bit unusual to see a Slawson well out here. It will be interesting if they try again.
**********
Seven wells were released from confidential status. Most remained in DRL status but one was particularly nice:
- 18822, 1,304, Anschutz, Dennis Kadrmas 1-9-4H-143-96
The Kadrmas well is in Fayette oil field which is a very good field, "owned" by Anschutz (since acquired by OXY USA), and currently very active with four active rigs in the immediate area
