Original Post

Back in February, 2010, someone asked me about Glass Bluff oil field. This was my answer then:
Glass Bluff is south of the river and southwest of Williston. Stony Creek is northeast of Williston, north of the river.

There were a lot of conventional wells (vertical wells) drilled in Glass Bluff over the years, but there has not been much activity in Glass Bluff in the current horizontal boom. One exception: BEXP just reported a big well one township east, still in Glass Bluff: Tjelde 29-32 1-H with an IP of 2,800.

Other than the Tjelda, there are no permits pending in Glass Bluff at this time. Based on the big well by Tjelda and based on all the conventional wells in this oil field in the past, I think this field will do just fine. But it may be awhile. 
Wow, that didn't take long. There are no less than 17 wells on the confidential list in Glass Bluff, and there are currently two rigs on site.
