BEXP: Infill Wells Very Successful -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Link here.

BEXP's recommendation based on experience:

Overall, infill drilling results continue to support Brigham's view that at least four wells should be completed per spacing unit per producing horizon in the Williston Basin. 

Notice: "at least four wells per spacing unit." 


Specifically:

Brigham announced the successful completion of the Brad Olson 9-16 #3H and the Erickson 8-17 #3H, both of which are located in Brigham's Rough Rider project area in Williams County, North Dakota. The Brad Olson 9-16 #3H is the third well completed in the spacing unit, and is located, on average, approximately 1,390 feet from the Brad Olson 9-16 #2H, which was completed in November 2010. 

Based on production to date, all three wells in the Brad Olson spacing unit are performing comparably. The Erickson 8-17 #3H is the second well completed in the spacing unit, and is located, on average, approximately 1,790 feet from the Erickson 8-17 #1H.

BEXP has 7 rigs in the North Dakota Bakken; one is operating in Montana; the other six in North Dakota. BEXP will take possession of its eighth rig this month (May, 2011).

With its two dedicated frac teams, BEXP feels it an frac eight wells/month.
