June Hearing Dockets for North Dakota Are Posted


Hess has allocated one-third of their total worldwide CAPEX to North Dakota Bakken -- and it is starting to show.....
  • Hess with requests for dozens of new wells
  • Hess with more than 60 requests for pooling (about the last step before drilling)
Case 15150 is interesting: Slawson -
  • 640-acre unit, 11-152-93, 3 wells
  • 640-acre unit, 12-152-93, 3 wells
  • 640-acre unit, 12-152-92, 6 wells
  • 640-acre unit, 7-152-91, 6 wells
  • 640-acre unit, 8-152-91, 6 wells
  • 640-acre unit, 9-152-91, 6 wells
  • So, if I am reading that correctly, in Fort Berthold, in this single case, Slawson is requesting permits for 30 wells, which includes 6 wells on 4 640-acre units, and then what amounts to 6 wells on a 1280-acre unit. Six wells on a 640-acre unit is impressive. Maybe more on that later. If I am misreading this, hopefully someone will point that out to me. Remember, EURs for core Bakken wells are in the range of 700,000 bbls and there is minimal depletion/communication between horizontal wells in neighboring Bakken/Three Forks formations.
15067: 5 wells on a 640-acre unit, 29-149-92; Heart Butte-Bakken, Dunn; this is in addition to four wells on a 1280-acre unit 17/20-149-92. Sections 17/20/29 lie on a north-south axis.

15119: XTO, about 22 1280-acre units; 6 wells each; 132 wells, Heart Butte-Bakken, Dunn (I have to confirm this one)

Remember: Dakota-3 is a subsidiary of WMB. Dakota-3 acquired 50+ Zenergy wells recently. WMB acquired about 7 percent of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation's mineral acres.


Note case 14310, cont: True Oil LLC, proper spacing for Burlington Resources 11-1H, Red Wing Creek-Madison, McKenzie, and then click here for the "rest of the story."
