Trivia in Beaver Lodge Oil Field -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Beaver Lodge oil field was where the very first North Dakota oil was was discovered, back in 1951.

Today, Murex announced another nice well in Beaver Lodge:

• 19233, 1,747, Murex, Mandy Kay 14-23H, Beaver Lodge, Bakken; 41K in 3 months; 19 frac stages; Bakken formation

Back in January, 2011, I posted a short trivia note regarding two other wells also named after women and also located in Beaver Lodge:

• 16186, 439, Murex, Angie Marie 13-24H, Beaver Lodge, Bakken, cumulative: 228,742 bbls.
• 16358, 223, Murex, Megan Brooke 15-22H, Beaver Lodge, Bakken, cumulative: 101,569 bbls.

At the time of the January posting, I estimated the Angie Marie had produced $10 million at the wellhead, and now we have another Murex well in the same oil field.


For newbies, I consider 100,000 bbls a significant milestone.
