Stockyard Creek Has Been Updated -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Stockyard Creek has been updated.

For folks living in Williston, this is a nice field to drive out to and look at the activity. There is one rig on site, just to the north of US 2, as one enters the field from the west. There are several wells on the confidential list, and my hunch is there are a lot of flares to be seen from the road.

It appears that all 33 sections of this field should be held by production now except for maybe three sections (11, 12, 30).

It's an interesting mix of wells: a lot of very good Madison wells, such as:

• 12537, 157, Petro-Hunt, State of North Dakota K 1, Stockyard Creek, Madison; s10/88; t12/88; 6/11 461K; still easily 1,000 bbls/month

...this well is still pumping 1,000 bbls/month after producing for 23 years, and another Madison well:

• 12487, 272, Petro-Hunt, Texaco Otto Boss 18-1, Stockyard Creek, Madison; s8/88; t9/88; 6/11 637K

The Petro-Hunt K 1 well has produced 461,000 bbls to date; the Otto Boss has produced 637,000 bbls to date, both Madison wells.

Meanwhile, some of the new Bakken wells look to be very good, including:

• 19220, 1,057, BTA/Baytex, 20711 Saccaro 310 1-H, Bakken, spudded 8/10, DRL; s8/10; t11/10; 6/11 110K -- spudded 8/10 and has already produced 110,000 bbls of oil

Anyway, the update is here.
