Road Trip -- McKenzie County -- Mondak Oil Field -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

This is a posed, staged photo.


The bad news: there is no signage identifying this well.

The good news: based on GIS map server, and a few landmarks, there is a 99.99% chance that this well sits where this gentleman has a few mineral acres. The best landmark: a rig-on-site a few miles north which matches the one on the GIS map server. There is currently only one rig-on-site in the Mondak oil field.

The bad news: this well is still confidential and neither the gentleman nor the photographer know which way the horizontal legs run.

The bad news: based on where this well is sited inside the section, the horizontal legs most likely run south. The gentleman's mineral acres are north.

More bad news: this well has only three tanks. A small well?

Good news: The area is becoming very active, and over time additional wells will be put in.
