Hot Spot: McGregory Buttes/South Fork Inside The Reservation -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Update

September 10, 2014: there are two wells with same legal description, different file numbers at the GIS map; this may be quite common with HRC buying Petro-Hunt acreage in this area:

Original Post

There are several hot spots in the Bakken. One of them is inside the reservation, in the north half of the McGregory Buttes field and the northwest quarter of the South Fork field.

McGregory Buttes is a typical (I guess) size field in the Williston Basin. It is 48 sections located entirely within the reservation. It shares a small part of its border with the Moccasin Creek field which lies immediately to the southeast. The sections are in T147N-94W and T148N-94W.

South Fork is a small field, only 18 sections, nestled in between McGregory Buttes and Heart Butte.

Right now, the most interesting area of the McGregory Buttes field is in the north (T148N-94W). In this area:
  • Enerplus (ERF) has eight wells in the same section, placed on two nearly-abutting "smart-pads," in McGregory Buttes.
  • One section over, Enerplus (ERF) has another four wells in one section, two wells on two pads each, again in McGregory Buttes.
  • Three miles to the east there are two rigs on site: Dakota-3 (WMB) and KOG. The KOG rig is spudding a well on the 2-well pad.
In this area are the following wells, all on the confidential list, and pretty much in line west to east (IPs and production updated periodically):
